Cost factor analysis of Caspian salmon (Salmo trutta caspius Kessleri, 1877) fingerling production and release in Iran

author

Abstract:

Iran contributes to the stock enhancement of several economically valuable fish species, including the Caspian salmon, S. trutta caspius, by producing and releasing millions of fingerlings into the sea. This work was conducted to determine the production costs of the Caspian salmon fingerlings in the years 2002 and 2003. For this purpose, a questionnaire was prepared and filled in by an expert team using data available in the Kelardasht Caspian Salmon Hatchery and other related departments. Among various expenditures, on average, cost of labor (52%) and cost of feed (16%) had the greatest share. Results showed the average cost of production and release of a single fingerling in Iran was IRRls 6,685, (US$ 0.84) over the 2002-2003. The cost sensitivity of hatcheries production of the Caspian salmon shows that labor cost is the most sensitive, and a 50% increase in the cost of this item increases the total coast by more than 25% followed by feed cost.

A Histological study on the development of the digestive tract of Caspian salmon, Salmo trutta caspius (Kessleri), from hatching to parr stage

Histological development of digestive tract of the Caspian salmon, Salmo trutta caspius, from hatching to 6 month post-hatching was studied using light microscope. The digestive tract of newly hatched larvae was a simple, undifferentiated tube which continued from mouth to anus. In 10 days post hatching larvae, the alimentary canal became more differentiated and secretion was started activity, ...
