  • A Review of On-Farm Feed Management Practices for North African Catfish (Clarias Gariepinus) in Sub-Saharan Africa
    463 A review of on-farm feed management practices for North African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) in sub-Saharan Africa Thomas Hecht1 Department of Ichthyology and Fisheries Science Rhodes University, Grahamstown South Africa Hecht, T. 2013. A review of on-farm feed management practices for North African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) in sub-Saharan Africa. In M.R. Hasan and M.B. New, eds. On-farm feeding and feed management in aquaculture. FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Technical Paper No. 583. Rome, FAO. pp. 463–479. ABSTRACT This review considers feed management practices for North African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) in sub-Saharan Africa. Clariid catfish production in the subcontinent is increasing exponentially, particularly in Uganda. Semi-intensive pond culture is still the most prevalent production system, while intensive tank culture is becoming more popular in peri-urban areas in Nigeria. Total production in these two countries now exceeds 178 000 tonnes annually. Catfish are now commonly spawned and their larvae reared in hatcheries for ten to 14 days, after which they are reared in nursery ponds or in tanks. Extensive rearing of larvae, after yolk sac absorption, in ponds is now less often practiced than in the past. Where it is still practiced, successful larval rearing and satisfactory survival rates depend mainly on adequate fertilization schedules. Feed management practices in hatcheries are closely matched with the physiological and endocrinological ontogeny of the fish. For optimal survival and growth, live food (mainly Artemia) is required for the first five days after the start of exogenous feeding, after which the fish can be weaned onto a dry starter feed.

  • Length-Weight Relationship, Condition Factor and Feeding Habit of the Silurid Catfish Bagrus Docmak (Forksskal, 1775) in Lake Victoria, Kenya
    Length-weight relationship, condition factor and feeding habit of the Silurid Catfish Bagrus docmak (Forksskal, 1775) in Lake Victoria, Kenya 1Edwine Yongo, 2Simon Agembe & Jacob 3Iteba 1Faculty of Life and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Hainan University, China 2,3Department of Fisheries & Aquatic Sciences, University of Eldoret, Kenya. Abstract Bagrus docmak is a species of the Bagrid catfishes that is indigenous to Lake Victoria, and is an important source of livelihood to communities around the lake. Fish samples were caught using gillnets of mesh sizes 50 mm and 10 mm. The length and weight of individual fish was measured in the field, while stomachs were preserved in 5% formalin and taken to the laboratory for gut content analysis. The overall sex ratio (male: female) was 1.0:1.26 which did not deviate significantly from 1:1 (p > 0.05). The length of fish ranged from 12.0-55.0 cm TL and weighed between 20.0 g and 1650.0 g, with mean length and weight of 32.7 cm TL and 351.2 g, respectively. The relative condition factor was 0.97, 1.01 and 1.00 for male, female and combined sexes, respectively. The condition factor was not significantly different in relation to sex of fish and size classes (p > .05). The slope b of the length-weight relationship was 2.94, 2.94 and 2.90 for females, males and combined sexes, respectively. Analysis of stomach fullness revealed that most of the stomachs were ¼ full (44.6%), while (29.7%) were empty. Non-empty guts had variety of food items with Caridina, insects and fish remains each contributing the highest (21%) proportions.

  • Fish As Food Or Fodder Moenieba Isaacs*
    Isaacs Agric & Food Secur (2016) 5:27 DOI 10.1186/s40066-016-0073-5 Agriculture & Food Security RESEARCH Open Access The humble sardine (small pelagics): fish as food or fodder Moenieba Isaacs* Abstract Background: The group of small pelagic fish is the largest species group landed globally. A significant proportion of this nutrient-rich food is processed and lost to livestock feed, fish feed, fish oil, pet food and omega-rich vitamins. The nutritional importance of small pelagics as an easily digestible protein source, rich in essential lipids with fatty acids (EPA/DHA), essential amino acids, minerals and vitamins, is well known and documented. Small pelagics contain all the elements of a healthy and nutritionally optimal food source for humans and are an important contributor to the food and nutritional security of many poor, low-income households in developing countries. Findings: Large-scale and small-scale fisheries play an important role in contributing to food security and nutrition. Yet, all of the anchovy landings from large-scale fisheries are reduced to animal feed, fish oil and pet food in South Africa. The size of the species, labour costs and lack of incentives by the state are some of the challenges to redirect- ing anchovy for human consumption. This trend is also now prevalent in Tanzania, where most (84%) of the dagaa fished is reduced to fishmeal in Kenya, mainly to feed chickens. The main challenges are post-harvest handling and sanitation. Conclusions: The redirecting of small pelagics to human consumption will depend on the role of the state in Tan- zania and South Africa in investing in post-harvest processing.

Tel: +255 68 550119 1 ABSTRACT Dagaa (Rastrineobola argentea), also known as Silver cyprinid, are tiny fish (< 9 g) found mostly in Lake Victoria, Nabugabo and Kyoga, and also in the River Nile. Dagaa are very popular food around the Lake Victoria area and are used for formulating animal feeds due to their nutritional quality. Harvesting of dagaa is a demanding activity and the methods used include scoop net, seine net and catamaran or lift net. The harvesting of dagaa employs a lot of people along the lake carrying out the activities of fishing, preserving and selling. It is therefore considered to be a very important sector for job creation, income generation and food security. However, the traditional method of preserving dagaa, sun-drying dagaa (SDD) is often affected by heavy and prolonged rains in Tanzania. The present study was therefore undertaken to evaluate and compare the processing of spice-smoke dagaa (SSD) and SDD as preservation methods for all-year round supply and marketing. The results showed that SSD could be produced throughout the year and had a significantly (p < 0.05) lower moisture content (SDD in brackets), than SDD 1.81 % (2.4 %).

  • REDUCING POST-HARVEST LOSSES of the ARTISANAL DAGAA (Rastrineobola Argentea) FISHERY in LAKE VICTORIA, TANZANIA: a COST and BENEFIT ANALYSIS
    P.O. Box 1390, Skulagata 4 120 Reykjavik, Iceland Final Project 2010 REDUCING POST-HARVEST LOSSES OF THE ARTISANAL DAGAA (Rastrineobola argentea) FISHERY IN LAKE VICTORIA, TANZANIA: A COST AND BENEFIT ANALYSIS Lilian Ibengwe Ministry of Livestock Development and Fisheries P.O.Box 2462 Dar es Salaam Tanzania [email protected] Supervisor Daði Már Kristófersson (PhD) Associate Professor Department of Economics University of Iceland [email protected] ABSTRACT The Lake Victoria dagaa constitutes over 38% of the total fish landings from Lake Victoria in Tanzania. The fishery supports a major artisanal fishery in the country, ranking second to the Nile perch. However, the dagaa fishery is associated with a high level of post-harvest loss (physical and quality losses) of approximately 59%. The overall objective of this study was to propose a cost effective management strategy to reduce dagaa post-harvest loss in Tanzania. To meet this objective a cost and benefit analysis was done to determine whether adopting drying dagaa on racks will reduce post-harvest loss, and hold positive public value in the future. Two categories of analysis were set, i.e. private (individual) and public (government) for a pilot district (500 fishers). The analyses were divided into five parts: 1) Assessment of all possible dagaa post-harvest losses, 2) Assessment of the cost of reducing the losses, 3) Assessment of the anticipated benefits associated with reducing the losses, 4) Evaluation of costs and benefits to determine net benefit and net present value (NPV), 5) A sensitivity analysis. From the analysis it was found that the drying racks project has positive NPV therefore it is worthwhile to be implemented in Tanzania to reduce dagaa post-harvest loss.

  • An Assessment of the Effect of the Closed Seasons on Abundance of the Silver Cyprinid, Rastrineobola Argentea, in Lake Victoria
    ununftp.is Final Project 2012 AN ASSESSMENT OF THE EFFECT OF THE CLOSED SEASONS ON ABUNDANCE OF THE SILVER CYPRINID, RASTRINEOBOLA ARGENTEA, IN LAKE VICTORIA Robert Wanyama Ministry of Fisheries Development Nairobi, Kenya [email protected] Supervisors: Hreidar Thor Valtysson [email protected] Hlynur Ármannsson [email protected] ABSTRACT Lake Victoria is currently dominated by the introduced Nile perch, (Lates niloticus), Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and the endemic cyprinid Rastrineobola argentea. R. argentea is second only to Nile perch in terms of commercial importance. With the recent declining trends in the catches of Nile perch and most other fish species in the lake, interest has gradually been shifting to the exploitation of R. argentea. From time to time Lake Victoria partner states have been implementing management measures aimed at ensuring sustainable utilization of the fisheries. One such measure was to implement a yearly closed season for fishing of R. argentea for four months period, starting in 2001. However this ban was only implemented by Kenya. The objective of this study is to assess the effect of the closed seasons in the Kenyan part of the lake on the abundance of R. argentea. Catch, CPUE and biomass data were analysed to establish trends between 1999 and 2011, for the Kenyan and Ugandan portions as well as the entire lake. The results indicated an increased biomass not only on the Kenyan side, where closed seasons are implemented, but also in the entire lake. This indicates that factors other than fishing, such as environmental and ecological changes play a crucial role in the fluctuations of R.
