Synopsis (short abstract) The feeding methods employed for the production of farmed fish and shrimp are presented. Complete diet feeding methods are described, including formulation procedures, feed manufacture and storage, larval feeding, dietary feeding allowances, and feed economics. In addition, information is presented concerning fertilization and supplementary diet feeding methods, including pond preparation techniques, chemical fertilization, manure fertilization through direct application, livestock integration, composting and fermentation, and supplementary diet formulation and feeding practices.

    The classification, structure and biological function of the essential nutrients are described; including proteins and amino acids, lipids, carbohydrates, vitamins, minerals, and energy. The quantitative dietary nutrient requirements of fish and shrimp are critically reviewed, and suggestions made for dietary nutrient levels within practical complete diets for carnivorous and omnivorous fish and shrimp species.

    The principles of feed and fertilizer analysis are described, and the chemical composition of various potential feed ingredients and fertilizers presented; including the cereal grains and by-products, oil-bearing seeds and by-products, grain legumes, green fodder crops, roots and tubers, fruits, aquatic macrophytes, miscellaneous plant feedstuffs, single-cell proteins, animal by-products, invertebrates, chemical fertilizers, and organic manures. Information is also presented on the major dietary feed additives, including feed antioxidants, binders, pigments, and dietary feeding stimulants. In addition, a glossary of nutrition feed milling terms and feed ingredient definitions is presented

    Report to the government of Thailand on shrimp farm development 1973

    The report gives an account of shrimp farm development investigations, including small-scale larval culture experiments in which five species were grown to post-larval size from eggs spawned in the laboratory. The results of two experiments to test the efficiency of fertilizer to increase pond production are reported. Production was greater with ammonium sulphate and superphosphate than with superphosphate alone. Application of tea-seed cake at rates of 25 parts per million (ppm) and 10 ppm was effective in eliminating fish from shrimp ponds without damaging the shrimp. Research to produce shrimp in hatcheries should be conducted, but it is important that pond management skills be developed before additional shrimp from hatcheries are provided to traditional type farmers. Suggestions which might assist in improving shrimp farming have been indicated. Supplemental feeding is not considered necessary at this stage of development in the traditional practice of shrimp farming in Thailand. Sufficient food can be supplied by fertilization of pond waters. The most immediate need is to determine what types of fertilizer are appropriate for Thai waters, and their proper rates of application.
