Feasibility study preparation is also included. With the continuing development of techniques for spawning and larval rearing of marine fishes, there will be less dependence on wild seed stock for grow-out culture. Fish hatcheries play a big role both in stimulating farming activity of various aquatic species as well as in conservation and reseeding efforts to replenish wild stocks. This six-week course aims to provide participants with technical knowledge and skills in operating marine fish hatcheries. Today, fish farmers do not have to rely exclusively on wild fry.
Hatcheries are capable of producing shrimp year-round.
This course aims to develop skills in operating a small-scale shrimp hatchery including broodstock and nursery, with emphasis on Penaeus monodon . Participants will conduct broodstock sampling, eyestalk ablation, monitoring of embryonic stages, natural food production, larval rearing, feeding and water management, and harvest and packing. Five weeks Aquaculture production depends, on the quality and availability of food in the culture system. In addition to natural food organisms such as phytoplankton and zooplankton, formulated diets are given to meet the requirements of culture species. This five-week course aims to provide the needs of aquaculture technicians and fish nutritionists for basic theoretical information and technical skills on aquaculture nutrition.
