No Thumbnail AvailableProjectProgramme / project reportThe food and feeding of seabass Lates calcarifer, grouper Epinephelus tauvina and rabbitfish Siganus canaliculatus in floating net cages at the National Seafarming Development Centre, Lampung, Indonesia 1989
Also available in:
No results found.Four cage feeding trials involving a total of fifteen different dietary feeding regimes were conducted with seabass (Lates calcarifer), grouper (Epinephelus tauvina) and rabbitfish (Siganus canaliculatus) from fingerling to market size over a 100 to 156-day rearing period. Seabass fed frozen fish or a moist pellet displayed the best growth response, with fish (30/m3) growing from an initial weight of 8.9g and 8.5g to a final weight of 285.5g and 257.5g in 156 days, with a food conversion ratio o f 3.77 – 5.10 (dry matter basis 0.96 – 1.30) and 1.89 – 3.20 (dry matter basis 1.15 – 1.95), and with a survival of 93.3% and 93.3%, respectively. During the seabass trial the estimated feeding cost/kg fish produced was Rp 1458 – 1964 and Rp 1537 – 2584 for fish fed frozen fish and moist pellet, respectively. Grouper fed frozen fish and moist pellet also displayed the best growth response, with fish (30/m3) growing from an initial weight of 23.8g and 25.8g to a final weight of 471.7g and 388.7g in 156 days, with a food conversion ratio of 3.53 – 4.16 (dry matter basis 0.89 – 1.06) and 1.73 – 2.96 (dry matter basis 1.06 – 1.80), and with a survival of 90% and 98.3%, respectively. During the grouper trial the estimated feeding cost/kg fish produced was Rp 1342 – 1603 and Rp 1382 – 2396 for fish fed frozen fish and moist pellet, respectively. In the case of rabbitfish, the best growth was observed for fish fed a dry in-house crumble containing 31% crude protein; fish (15/m3) growing from an initial weight of 51.7g to a final weight of only 110.3g in 100 days, with a food conversion ratio of 3.48 (dry matter basis 3.08) and estimated feeding cost/kg fish produced of Rp 2349. However, all rabbitfish fed formulated rations displayed marked sexual activity by the end of the feeding trial (62 – 93% of the fish yielding milt or eggs on hand stripping). -

Also available in:
No results found.The need for developing suitable feeds based on locally available inexpensive ingredients has been widely recognized. Since lack of trained personnel is the main constraint in the development of fish feed technology in developing countries, the FAO/UNDP Aquaculture Development and Coordination Programme (ADCP) organized a special training course in fish feed technology at the College of Fisheries, University of Washington, Seattle, with a view to forming a small corps of fish feed specialists wh o could then be the focal points for future feed development programmes in their respective countries. The first report of the training course was presented in the report ADCP /REP/79/8. This present volume represents the edited texts of lectures presented by different specialists. Some additional material has been included for more complete coverage of the subject. Together, these texts may be considered to constitute a manual on fish feed technology, even though they were not prepared for that purpose. Twenty-six papers are included, under the general headings: (1) Digestion, physiology and anatomy; (2) nutritional bioenergetics; (3) nutritional biochemistry; (4) feedstuffs; (5) feed formulation; (6) feed manufacturing technology; (7) practical diets; and (8) quality control. Appendices include conversion tables, electrical data, and details on pelletability of selective feedstuffs, pellet die specifications, and equipment requirements for an 8 ton an hour feed mill.

BookletHigh-profileFAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 2022The FAO Strategy on Climate Change 2022–2031 was endorsed by FAO Council in June 2022. This new strategy replaces the previous strategy from 2017 to better FAO's climate action with the Strategic Framework 2022-2031, and other FAO strategies that have been developed since then. The Strategy was elaborated following an inclusive process of consultation with FAO Members, FAO staff from headquarters and decentralized offices, as well as external partners. It articulates FAO's vision for agrifood systems by 2050, around three main pillars of action: at global and regional level, at country level, and at local level. The Strategy also encourages key guiding principles for action, such as science and innovation, inclusiveness, partnerships, and access to finance.

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018.
