http://www.worldfoodprize.org/laureates/past/2005.htm Dr. Gupta s achievements in freshwater aquaculture have helped millions of rural farmers overcome severe poverty and nutritional deficiencies. Dr. Gupta developed low-cost technologies to increase fish yields and educated impoverished farmers, specifically women, in freshwater aquaculture practices. His efforts led to a significant rise in the consumption of fish a vital source of protein and vitamins in developing countries in Asia and Africa and more effective aquaculture research worldwide. 5

Types of Diets Trash Fish Formulated feeds Farm-made diets Commercial rations Research Diets 11

Trash Fish Fresh or Frozen Strategies sardines, herring, etc. cuttle fish or squid shrimp or krill avoid thiamine deficiency alternate feeding of each avoid food restriction maintain high condition factor 12

Advantages of formulated feed Exact nutritional needs of the fish can be meet Optimum balance of ingredients can optimize food conversion Large qualities of feed can be prepared at one time with reasonable storage requirements and shelf life Use of low cost ingredients Easy to transport and distribute 13

FCR = Food Conversion Ratio FCR = amount of feed needed to produce unit weight of fish Dry weight of feed/wet weight of fish Protein conversion ratio = amount of feed protein/amount of fish protein Protein is the most expensive component of feed Feed - cost/unit 16

Cage culture 38

Cage culture 39

Cage or pen size The larger the cage size the lower the production cost. Netting required for 4 small cages equal in surface area to 1 large cage is 30% more. Water exchange may be less however in large cages. May limit the introduction of natural food 40

Pros - cage or pen culture No requirement for land however access to water is required Capital investment is low in relationship to return The low labor requirement allows for other farming activities to be continued. Flexible technology Ability to culture high value crops. 41

Cons - cage or pen culture Risk culture dependent on good water quality Risk - potential for disease Cage or pen fouling Loss of crop Need for reliable seed supplies Need for reliable feed sources 42

Catfish processing 52

Primary product (60%) = fillets (~ 40% yield from a 1 2 lb fish) catfish are kept alive up until the minute they're processed. The entire processing process is completed in less than 30 minutes. fish are cleaned, processed and placed on ice or frozen to temperatures of - 40 o F below zero. Frozen farm-raised catfish are individually quickfrozen (IQF), a method which preserves the taste and quality of the fish. Plants are inspected and certified by the U.S. Department of Commerce 20 certified processing plants have a combined capacity of more than 10 million pounds of catfish every week. 53

Catfish production costs Feed cost has been highly variable but longterm trend for average feed cost is relatively flat Production costs - increase of ~ 1%/yr. when feed prices are held steady Total annual costs in 1996 estimated to be: $ 0.734 for 160 acre farm $ 0.722 for 320 acre farm $ 0.692 for 640 acre farm 54

The Catfish Ad Wars U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish turn your taste buds red, white and blue Agifish biggest importer of basa used all the publicity as a basis for the following ad: What do you know about the trade dispute between the American Catfish and the Vietnamese Basa? Just try Agifish s Basa products, you ll know imported fish nibbling on who knows what 61
