TO AVOID DISEASE TRANSMISSION, THE EUROPEAN UNION FORBIDS THE USE OF FARMED FISH BY-PRODUCTS IN FINFISH FEEDS BUT ALLOWS THEM TO BE USED IN CRUSTACEAN DIETS OR VICE VERSA First you have to find out which plants are grown near your aquaculture: crops like millet, oats, corn, sorghum, sesame, groundnut, sugar beet, melons, and wide variety of vegetables and fruits serve as ingredients Are there any slaughter houses near your farm: dried bone meal, or dried blood meal as well as dried meat meal are useful feed elements It is also likely that there is commercial manufacture of compound animal feed or even fish feeds I understand that Kazakhstan has at least 100 feed factories where the machinery exists for making pelleted feed for fish So there is only necessary to bring the right ingredients and instructions to the factory Although fresh animal by-products such as liver and blood are available in limited quantities and could be used by a small-scale trout farmer (< 5 tonnes fish/year) within an in-house produced moist diet, a dry diet formulation and feeding regime is recommended for your own farm. Three dietary formulations are recommended for use within three distinct feed lines, namely starter, fingerling and production diets. Although oilseeds (ie. soybean meal, rapeseed meal) and animal by-product meals (ie. meat and bone meal, blood meal) can and have been successfully used at high dietary inclusion levels within practical salmonid rations, their nutritional success is dependent upon the individual manufacturing process used to produce them. 50 tonnes of Rainbow trout (250 g each fish) For that production you need 2.5 -3.5 tonnes of starter feed 16-22 tonnes of fingerling feed And 56-75 tonnes of production feed This calculation is based on 1.5-2.0 feed conversion ration The survival from egg (700,000 individuals) to 5 g fish is 50% Survival from 5 g to 50 g fish is 71.4% And survival from 50 g to 250 g fish is 80% Since the manufactured diets are composed of perishable nutrients it is essential that the feed storage period on the farm prior to feeding be kept to a minimum and that adequate storage facilities are provided. Dry feed lines should be stored under clean dry ventilated conditions within a room with a concrete floor and walls (avoiding high humidity and direct sunlight), and used within two months of manufacture. Bags containing manufactured diets should be stored on wooden pallets and in such a manner so as to facilitate good air circulation between individual sacks, and should never be allowed to rest directly against the concrete floor or walls. The success of a dry diet feeding regime is dependent not only on the formulation and manufacturing process used to produce the diet, but also on the method of presentation of the feed to the fish. Although the majority of large commercial trout farms in Europe normally use a fixed dietary feeding regime to administer their feed to the fish, hand feeding to satiation is recommended for your fish farm.

  • The Status of the Endangered Freshwater Fishes in China and the Analysis of the Endangered Causes Institute of Hydrobiology
    The status of the endangered freshwater fishes in China and The analysis of the endangered causes HE Shunping, CIIEN Yiyu Institute of Hydrobiology, CAS, Wuhan, ITubei Province, 430072 Abstract More than 800 species of freshwater fishes are precious biological resources in inland water system of China. Among them, there are a great number of endemic and precious group, and a lot of monotypic genera and species. Recently, owing to the synthetic effects of the natural and human-beings, many of these fishes gradually became endangered. The preliminary statistic result indicates that 92 species are endangered fishes and account for 10% of the total freshwater fishes in China. For the purpose of protection of the biodiversity of fishes, it is necessary to analyse these causes which have led the fishes to become endangered. This report could be used as a scientific reference for researching and saving the endemic precious freshwater fishes in China. Key words Endangered freshwater fishes, Endangered causes, China In the process of the evolution of living things, along with the origin of life, the extinction of life also existed. In the long_ life history, the speciation and the extinction of living things often keep a relative balance. As time goes on, especially after by the impact of human beings activity of production and life, the pattern of the biodiversity were changed or damaged, more or less. At last, in the modern society, human beings activity not only accelerate the progress of society and the development of economy, but also, as a special species, become the source of disturbing_ to other species.

  • Lake Baikal Russian Federation
    LAKE BAIKAL RUSSIAN FEDERATION Lake Baikal is in south central Siberia close to the Mongolian border. It is the largest, oldest by 20 million years, and deepest, at 1,638m, of the world's lakes. It is 3.15 million hectares in size and contains a fifth of the world's unfrozen surface freshwater. Its age and isolation and unusually fertile depths have given it the world's richest and most unusual lacustrine fauna which, like the Galapagos islands’, is of outstanding value to evolutionary science. The exceptional variety of endemic animals and plants make the lake one of the most biologically diverse on earth. Threats to the site: Present threats are the untreated wastes from the river Selenga, potential oil and gas exploration in the Selenga delta, widespread lake-edge pollution and over-hunting of the Baikal seals. However, the threat of an oil pipeline along the lake’s north shore was averted in 2006 by Presidential decree and the pulp and cellulose mill on the southern shore which polluted 200 sq. km of the lake, caused some of the worst air pollution in Russia and genetic mutations in some of the lake’s endemic species, was closed in 2009 as no longer profitable to run. COUNTRY Russian Federation NAME Lake Baikal NATURAL WORLD HERITAGE SERIAL SITE 1996: Inscribed on the World Heritage List under Natural Criteria vii, viii, ix and x. STATEMENT OF OUTSTANDING UNIVERSAL VALUE The UNESCO World Heritage Committee issued the following statement at the time of inscription. Justification for Inscription The Committee inscribed Lake Baikal the most outstanding example of a freshwater ecosystem on the basis of: Criteria (vii), (viii), (ix) and (x).

Little is known about inconnu critical habitat needs; however, current studies of inconnu spawning behavior suggest a high level of habitat selectivity. This level of selectivity implies that there are specific habitat characteristics that these fish require for spawning. The purpose of this study was to build a heuristic habitat model that can be used to better understand inconnu spawning site selection in remote Alaskan watersheds. Using readily available, low- or no-cost remote sensing data layers, geographical information systems (GIS) were used in conjunction with multivariate statistics in an attempt to clarify relationships between geomorphologic features and spawning site selection.

Juli 2015 Diese Dissertation ist auf den Internetseiten der Universitätsbibliothek online verfügbar Erklärung Ich versichere, dass ich diese Doktorarbeit selbständig und nur unter Verwendung der angegebenen Hilfsmittel angefertigt habe. Weiterhin versichere ich, die aus benutzten Quellen wörtlich oder inhaltlich entnommenen Stellen als solche kenntlich gemacht zu haben. Lara Ibrahim Aachen, am 18 März 2015 Zusammenfassung Die Zulassung von Pflanzenschutzmitteln in der Europäischen Gemeinschaft verlangt unter anderem eine Abschätzung des Risikos für Organismen in der Umwelt, die nicht Ziel der Anwendung sind. Unvertretbare Auswirkungen auf den Naturhalt sollen vermieden werden. Die ökologische Risikoanalyse stellt die dafür benötigten Informationen durch eine Abschätzung der Exposition der Organismen und der sich daraus ergebenden Effekte bereit. Die Effektabschätzung beruht dabei hauptsächlich auf standardisierten ökotoxikologischen Tests im Labor mit wenigen, oft nicht einheimischen Stellvertreterarten. In diesen Tests werden z. B. Effekte auf das Überleben, das Wachstum und/oder die Reproduktion von Fischen bei verschiedenen Konzentrationen der Testsubstanz gemessen und Endpunkte wie die LC50 (Lethal Concentrations for 50%) oder eine NOEC (No Observed Effect Concentration, z. B. für Wachstum oder Reproduktionsparameter) abgeleitet. Für Fische und Wirbeltiere im Allgemeinen beziehen sich die spezifischen Schutzziele auf das Überleben von Individuen und die Abundanz und Biomasse von Populationen.
