Funding for hatchery operations and maintenance has declined by —JIM MARTIN, CONSERVATION DIRECTOR, PURE FISHING about 15 percent since 1992. NFHS facilities are old and outmoded. As a whole, the system suffers from a maintenance backlog of approximately $300 million. Twenty-five percent of hatchery personnel positions are vacant. To a troubling degree, these problems reflect an erosion of congressional and public support. In March 1999, U.S. Representative George Miller, of the House Committee on Resources, asked the General Accounting Office (GAO) to conduct a review to evaluate the NFHS and to gauge the need for changes to refine and clarify the system’s legal mandates. In May 1999, 10 members of Congress requested that the FWS begin a process to determine the role and mission of the NFHS. In August 1999, the FWS asked the federally chartered Sport Fishing and Boating Partnership Council (SFBPC) to undertake that review. Following the FWS request, the SFBPC convened a special National Fish Hatchery Project Steering Committee to review the NFHS and develop recommendations regarding the system’s roles, responsibilities and strategic funding policies. Overall, the steering committee believes the NFHS is uniquely positioned to influence and benefit state and tribal fishery programs, fulfill tribal trust responsibilities, and provide technical assistance to private aquaculture. Although the intent of the steering committee’s report is to provide recom- mendations for future management of the NFHS, the steering committee con- cluded

  • Fishery Basics – Seafood Markets Types of Fishery Products
    Fishery Basics – Seafood Markets Types of Fishery Products Fish products are highly traded and valuable commodities around the world. Seafood products are high in unsaturated fats and contain many proteins and other compounds that enhance good health. Fisheries products can be sold as live, fresh, frozen, preserved, or processed. There are a variety of methods to preserve fishery products, such as fermenting (e.g., fish pastes), drying, smoking (e.g., smoked Salmon), salting, or pickling (e.g., pickled Herring) to name a few. Fish for human consumption can be sold in its entirety or in parts, like filets found in grocery stores. The vast majority of fishery products produced in the world are intended for human consumption. During 2008, 115 million t (253 billion lbs) of the world fish production was marketed and sold for human consumption. The remaining 27 million t (59 billion lbs) of fishery production from 2008 was utilized for non-food purposes. For example, 20.8 million t (45 billion lbs) was used for reduction purposes, creating fishmeal and fish oil to feed livestock or to be used as feed in aquaculture operations. The remainder was used for ornamental and cultural purposes as well as live bait and pharmaceutical uses. Similar to the advancement of fishing gear and navigation technology (See Fishing Gear), there have been many advances in the seafood-processing sector over the years. Prior to these developments, most seafood was only available in areas close to coastal towns. The modern canning process originated in France in the early 1800s. Cold storage and freezing plants, to store excess harvests of seafood, were created as early as 1892.

  • Resources for Fish Feed in Future Mariculture
    Vol. 1: 187–200, 2011 AQUACULTURE ENVIRONMENT INTERACTIONS Published online March 10 doi: 10.3354/aei00019 Aquacult Environ Interact OPENPEN ACCESSCCESS AS I SEE IT Resources for fish feed in future mariculture Yngvar Olsen* Trondhjem Biological Station, Department of Biology, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, 7491 Trondheim, Norway ABSTRACT: There is a growing concern about the ability to produce enough nutritious food to feed the global human population in this century. Environmental conflicts and a limited freshwater supply constrain further developments in agriculture; global fisheries have levelled off, and aquaculture may have to play a more prominent role in supplying human food. Freshwater is important, but it is also a major challenge to cultivate the oceans in an environmentally, economically and energy- friendly way. To support this, a long-term vision must be to derive new sources of feed, primarily taken from outside the human food chain, and to move carnivore production to a lower trophic level. The main aim of this paper is to speculate on how feed supplies can be produced for an expanding aquaculture industry by and beyond 2050 and to establish a roadmap of the actions needed to achieve this. Resources from agriculture, fish meal and fish oil are the major components of pellet fish feeds. All cultured animals take advantage of a certain fraction of fish meal in the feed, and marine carnivores depend on a supply of marine lipids containing highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA, with ≥3 double bonds and ≥20 carbon chain length) in the feed. The availability of HUFA is likely the main constraint for developing carnivore aquaculture in the next decades.

Mariculture has been contributing substantially to the global fish production in recent years. It accounted for about 29.2 per cent of world aquaculture production by value. It is a fact that India is still in infancy in mariculture production in the global scenario. Since mariculture is the only hope for increasing seafood production in the coming years, the research and development in this sector is of paramount importance. In fact, such thrust was not given in India and hence, it was felt necessary to develop viable seed production and farming technologies to develop mariculture. The R&D efforts in this direction yielded commendable results within a few years and Mandapam Regional Centre of ICAR CMFRI succeeded in captive breeding and seed production of two high value marine fishes namely, Cobia, Rachycentron canadum and Silver pompano, Trachinotus blochii for the first time in the country.

  • (DNR) – Fisheries Division Fish Hatcheries Performance – Fiscal Year 2019
    Michigan Department of Natural Resources (DNR) – Fisheries Division Fish Hatcheries Performance – Fiscal Year 2019 The DNR Fisheries Division Fish Production Section (FPS) maintains and operates six extensive, cold water fish hatcheries, three of which also produce cool water species (Table 1). There are also several ancillary programs managed by FPS to provide the support necessary to run a quality fish stocking program. Those include Fish Health and Quality, Fish Stocking, Fish Marking, and Electronics. Table 1. Location of and species reared by Michigan DNR Fish Hatcheries Hatchery Name Location Species Reared Steelhead, Chinook Salmon, Wolf Lake State Fish Hatchery Mattawan (Van Buren County) Muskellunge, Walleye Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, Harrietta State Fish Hatchery Harrietta (Wexford County) Atlantic Salmon Coho Salmon, Chinook Salmon, Platte River State Fish Hatchery Honor (Benzie County) Atlantic Salmon, Walleye Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, Oden State Fish Hatchery Alanson (Emmet County) Arctic Grayling Steelhead, Chinook Salmon, Thompson State Fish Hatchery Thompson (Schoolcraft County) Walleye Brook Trout, Lake Trout, Splake Marquette State Fish Hatchery Marquette (Marquette County) (Hybrid) Recreational fishing in Michigan is a significant economic driver, estimated at $2.3 billion. Fish stocking is one of the few tools available for fisheries professionals to use in managing the state’s world-class fisheries. Fish are stocked for three primary reasons: • Provide diverse fishing opportunities (e.g. walleye, steelhead) • Maintain ecosystem balance (e.g. Chinook salmon) • Rehabilitate depressed fish populations (e.g. lake sturgeon) The following summarizes the performance of the six DNR fish production facilities in five areas of focus during fiscal year 2019. Broodstock Management Broodstock management includes rearing and maintenance of captive brood populations at Oden Hatchery and Marquette Hatchery, as well as collecting gametes from feral stock.
