    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.

    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
