...management/regulations of aquaculture. CATC has six qualified scientists who are providing aquaculture genotyping around the world. The Centre for Aquaculture has one Canadian customer which is Aqua Bounty Technologies and their corporate head office is located in Boston. Genotyping helps aquaculture farmers effectively assess the genetic diversity of their stock. They can also maintain or increase diversity in their brood stock. Genotyping in salmon is the largest industry in Canada. This sophisticated DNA technology is also expanding into Arctic charr and in trout. This service can also help to trace the fish to its origin due to high import in Canada. This technology can help to implement food safety in retail stores. Genotyping technology can also be used by government researchers and other regulatory associations to manage wild fish, tracking and tracing the movement of fish. Furthermore, this technology can also help to regulate recreational fisheries. CATC is in the process of enhancing genotyping technology using SNPs for selective breeding of sea bass and sea bream. This technology would help consumers to find more refined and healthy products in the grocery stores. As the world population is increasing dramatically it will help to increase aquacultures to produce healthy and reasonable priced fish. The Centre for Aquaculture Technologies Canada is in the introductory stage in the product life cycle. Pricing Analysis The centre for Aquaculture has the ability with...

...Lucky Prawn Farm CASE CONTEXT The aquaculture industry in the Philippines is a major livelihood and employment opportunity, banking on the country’s rich supply of consumable marine life from its aquatic resources. Giant Fresh Prawn farming makes up a portion of the aquaculture industry. The Giant Freshwater Prawn locally known as ulang in the Philippines, is valued for its nutrition content and considered a promising aquaculture species for their high survival rate. Freshwater prawn can now give large ireturns with small investment. Prawn farming has started as an incidental harvest in milkfish water ponds. It was popular during the mid-1970’s in Japan and this gave way to prawn exports in 1975. Prawn farming was first introduced to the Philippines before the 1980’s. The real boom in production began in the mid-1980’s as rich families in the Visayas region started converting their sugar plantations into aquaculture business. They saw prawn farming as a more profitable alternative to sugar. In 1992, the prawn industry had its peak, earning approximately US$ 300 000 000 and became the top marine product export from the Philippines. However, certain diseases from marine products in the early 1990s caused significant decline in production. Prawns are typically cultivated in freshwater. A female prawn lays thousands to millions of eggs, which hatch after about a day. The hatched prawn are fed and develop into young prawn after about 12 days. Then, the post larvae are put either in...

...INVESTMENT AND OPERATING COSTS Investment Decision Probably the most important decision which any management has to take is the decision to invest, that is to incur an expenditure now in the hope of realizing benefits that are expected to occur over a reasonably long future period of time. In order to know whether an investment in a plant for production of fish meal is a worthwhile proposition or not, it is necessary to make a financial analysis of the plant for the period during which it is expected to be in service. For the calculation of the Internal Financial Return, which is the most common so-called discounted cash flow indicator used by the business community and development banks to measure the profitability of an investment project (Bierman, 1966), the following hypothetical case is shown in Table 7. The Internal Financial Return by definition is that rate at which the present value of future operational cash flow equals the investment cost. The rate, 18.5% in the example given, indicates the project can bear a cost of capital (in the form of interest on borrowed money) of 18.5% without showing a net loss. Investment Cost and Size of Fishmeal Plant The same financial indicator, Internal Financial Return, used to measure the overall profitability of one investment project is also useful for making comparisons between different scales of a similar type of operation, that is, generally speaking, fishmeal plant A with a production capacity of X tons per day...

...Currently in Fairbanks Alaska an invasion is taking place throughout the water ways. Elodea canadensis, a common aquatic plant often used in aquariums, is spreading throughout Chena Slough and Chena Lake. The initial start of the invasion is believed to have been caused when someone dumped an aquarium into the slough. Elodea canadensis, commonly referred as the American waterweed, may cause environmental and economic damage to affected areas. Damage to fish habitats may occur, reducing fish and boating. As all of these problem are happening properties near the area may face lower property values. A number of methods are being thought up as right now to face the difficult task at hand. Already attempts have been made to control the spread of the weed. When first discovered in 2010 in Chena Slough a total of 238 man hours were spent removing merely 0.59 acres of an infestation that stretches 10 miles. The difficulty comes from how the specie reproduces. Elodea canadensis can reproduce via fragmentation, a form of asexual reproduction. In the fall, the leafy stalk of the plant detaches from its parent plant and roots its self which is it most important method of spreading (Department of Ecology Washington State). A plan to use herbicide fluridone to treat the water is being discussed. The plan however does not come without its faults. While the fluridone would not affect the health of the ones drinking and swimming in the treated water, plants may be harmed. The water may no longer...

Accepted 30 May, 2007 1 Aquaculture development and growth in Africa have been on low ebb despite the vast aquatic resources that abounds on the continent. Since the introduction of aquaculture to Africa, some decades ago, there have been a lot of innovations, technological advancement and progress in the areas of genetics, seed propagation, pond construction and farm management in general. Despite breakthroughs recorded in these areas most farmers in Africa still rely heavily on imported feed ingredients and fish feeds from European countries, which makes fish farming expensive as fish feed account for at least 60% of the total cost of production. This has contributed in no small measure to the slow pace at which aquaculture is advancing in Africa. This article, however reviewed critically the potentials of locally manufactured fish feed in enhancing, improving and sustaining aquaculture development in Africa. Various methods...
