Synopsis (short abstract) Few foods are as central to Mediterranean and Black Sea culture as aquatic foods. They inspire culinary traditions, provide livelihoods for hundreds of thousands of people and offer a healthy source of protein. A large portion of these foods – almost 3 million tonnes annually, in fact – originate from aquaculture farms. The sector is also an important source of jobs, a key pillar of coastal and rural communities and a means to increase aquatic food production without exceeding the natural productivity of wild fish stocks. However, the benefits of the aquaculture sector are not well known to many in the region. This publication presents a journey through the Mediterranean and Black Sea aquaculture sector, highlighting its benefits and debunking myths, and showcases culinary traditions and recipes, detailing how to best enhance the culinary value of the region’s farmed species. Each chapter pairs the story of a successful, pioneering producer making waves in the region with an enticing recipe prepared by the chefs of the Institut Paul Bocuse Research Centre. Join and follow twelve species, each chosen for their importance and potential in the region, on the path from their farm to your plate.

    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.
