Evaluation of DDG as a feed supplement in farmed shrimp |
| A by
product of the manufacture of ethanol from corn, DDG, is only beginning
to realize its potential in the aquaculture industry. I
worked with a company that makes ethanol to test the ability of their
DDG to substitute partially for other protein sources in fish feeds.
We conducted field tests to determine suitability of the product in
Texas and Belize. |

Evaluation of SCP as a suitable replacement for fish meal.
|
| Market Research and Development for Single Cell Protein. A by
product of amino acid fermentation is bacterial biomass. We tested
this biomass for palatability and attractability in larval shrimp feed
with good results. Future tests will center on maximizing levels
of incorporation into various aquaculture based feeds. |

Replacement of worms in maturation of penaeid broodstock and improvement
of naupliar quality |
| Working in
conjunction with a group in Brazil, we development a mixture of feed
supplements that when used in conjunction with a non-enriched Artemia
Biomass, squid and mussels produced high quality nauplii. This
product completely replaces worms in the diet and results in highly
fecund females that produce high quality nauplii. It is
commercially available and in use. |

Development of a selection based
genetics
program |
| A program was devised and established to
select for rapidly growing P. vannamei using conventional statistic
based mass selection techniques. This was done with a large group
in Ecuador (more than 10,000 ha) who had the resources to ensure sufficient numbers of animals
could be tested and evaluated. This was the first project of
its kind in Ecuador and led the way for others to follow. |
