FISH BREEDING TECHNIQUES AND HATCHERY MANAGEMENT

FISH BREEDING TECHNIQUES AND HATCHERY
MANAGEMENT

1.0 INTRODUCTION
Aquaculture sector is the only division of fisheries where its output can easily be
determined depending on the type of production system used. In Nigeria today,
aquaculture has provided economic, social and environmental benefits by
strengthening relationship between the youth and the Government, decreasing
dependence on Government for white collar job and also provides security to our
economy and culture. However, the increase in world production and change in diet
demand a large, more reliable and expensive supply of animal protein and fish
products. According to FAO report in 2002, Nigeria requires two million metric
tones of fish annually for consumption but all fishery activity in Nigeria including
industrial fishery, artisanal fishing and aquaculture can only produce 2 percent (2%)
of this requirement.
The aquaculture industry in spite of recorded successes has various hindering
problems which include inadequate fish fingerlings for farmers. This has
necessitated the Nigerian Institute for Oceanography and Marine Research, Sapele
to organize a workshop; on the Technology of Fish Fingerlings (Fish Seed)
production; for farmers, so that there would be enough catfish fingerlings for table
size fish production. Meanwhile, this handout is specially designed for catfish
fingerlings production and its management.
Subsequent workshop will look into other aspects of aquaculture.

MAGGOTS; A HIGH PROTEIN FEED FOR POULTRY, FISHERIES

MAGGOTS; A HIGH PROTEIN FEED FOR POULTRY, FISHERIES Feed is the single most expensive factor in all livestock production and Maggots are affordable, green and sustainable high protein feed (65% protein) for fish, poultry birds Maggot feed is noted to reduce mortality by close to 100% and are also a perfect replacement for current orthodox protein product offering in the market, soybean and carnivorous fishmeal and thus make farmers investment attractive. It has good nutritional value, cheaper and less tedious to produce than other animal protein sources. It is also produced from wastes, which otherwise would constitute environmental nuisance. The production system thus serves the dual purpose of providing a nutrient-rich resource as well as a source of waste transformation and reduction It has been suggested that the good growth and nutrient utilization capacity of livestock fed maggot-based diets stem from the high biological value i.e. nutrient composition and digestibility, o...

Fish Feed formulating

PRODUCTION OF QUALITY FISH FEED. Especially. The most important thing in feed production is understanding the nature of each feed materials as regards the physiological effects on monogastric(single stomach ) animals like catfish If we all have/use same feed formula we could all end up arriving at very different feed quality: Let me kindly explain using the basic machines mostly used in Nigeria especially for sinking feeds Aims that must be targeted in feed are 1.Digestibility (fcr) 2.Palatable Items that are not too necessary for proper pulverizing are gnc,,garri,,indomie/spaghetti,,,dried fish,,,among others So kindly request for finely pulverize materials mostly cellulose materials so as your fishes to get optimal digestion The most used fish feed equipment are sold by capsfeed or locally fabricated duplicating capsfeed imported machines To produce effectively,,,the machines that should be available are 1.Pulverizer 2.mixer 3.Steam boiler 4.pe...
