چکیده
The results of this project have lead to several improvements in the costeffectiveness of diet formulations and feeding schedules for channel catfish. Advancements in these areas will significantly improve production economics by reducing diet costs and increasing the eff iciency of feed utilization. The benefits obtained from these advancements will be substantial because over one-half of the variable production costs associated with channel catfish aquaculture A.

متن کاملProductivity growth, technical change and efficiency change of the Malaysian cage fish farming: an application of Malmquist Productivity Index approach
The demand for animal protein especially fish is expanding due to the population growth, increased incomes and changes in eating habits and life styles. The capture fisheries in Malaysia which supply over 70 % of the fish used for food are over-exploited, and the yield has become stagnant over the last decades and in some cases it has even declined. In addition, the balance of trade for the pas...
متن کاملHusbandry of animals on land and in water: similarities and differences.
The husbandry of aquatic animals originated in China in approximately 1,100 B.C., thousands of years after the beginning of animal agriculture. The practice did not reach Europe until the Middle Ages. Aquaculture apparently was not very important in Western Europe. The early immigrants from that region did not include fish with the other food animals that they brought with them to the New World...
