Sepik River Fish Stock Enhancement, Papua New Guinea
1993Also available in:
No results found.This report provides preliminary information on the biology and ecology of rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, in highland streams of Papua New Guinea. The extent of success of its introduction and its implication on any future introductions of other coldwater fish species are discussed. The relevance of trout to the Sepik River Fish Stock Enhancement Project (SRFSEP) is based on the fact that salmonid trouts were the first exotic fishes to be introduced to Papua New Guinea for the purpose of enhancing fish stocks (West & Glucksman 1976). Furthermore, a follow-on project based on recommendations given by SRFSEP and dealing with stocking higher altitude rivers in order to improve fisheries in highland areas commenced in March 1993 (FISHAID; see Coates 1992). The presence of rainbow trout (presumably the only salmonid species established) may have considerable implications for future stocking of other coldwater fish species recommended by SRFSEP and undertaken during the FISHAID projec t. -

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.

MeetingMeeting documentRegional consultation promoting responsible production and use of feed and feed ingredients for sustainable growth of aquaculture in Asia-Pacific. Thirty-fifth session of the Asia-Pacific Fishery Commission (APFIC)
Cebu, the Philippines, 11-13 May 2018
2018Also available in:
No results found.Asia-Pacific accounts for more than 90% of the world aquaculture output (FAO, 2016) and the region will have to responsible for sustaining the supply of food fish to increasing population. Feed input in aquaculture represents the major production cost and the most important factor affecting farming profitability and ecological efficiency. Issues and challenges have been rising with the questionable use of fish meal and fish oil, mounting pressure on and competition for ingredient supply, increasing feed costs, variation of feed quality and availability, and feed ingredient related food safety concerns. The region needs to adjust the development strategies and devote more efforts in research, development and capacity building for sustainable production and use of aquaculture feeds. A -
Book (stand-alone)Technical studyAppropriate food packaging solutions for developing countries 2014The study was undertaken to serve as a basis for the international congress Save Food!, taking place from 16 to 17 May 2011, at the international packaging industry fair Interpack2011 in Düsseldorf, Germany. Save Food! has been co organized by Interpack2011 and FAO, aiming to raise awareness on global food losses and waste. In addition, Save Food! brings to the attention of the international packaging industry the constraints faced by the small- and medium-scale food processing industries in dev eloping countries to obtain access to adequate packaging materials which are economically feasible. This revised edition, dated 2014, contains a new section on investment opportunities in developing countries (paragraph 3.7).
