Loads of solids, organic carbon (C), and dissolved and total nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) were measured directly in effluent and in accumulated sludge and were normalized to fish biomass and production. Most of the observed nutrient waste (solid and dissolved) and about half of the observed solids load were present in the effluent fraction. Total annual loading rates (effluent plus sludge) observed per metric ton of production were 289–839 kg for solids; 47–87 kg for N; 4.8–18.7 kg for P; and 101–565 kg for C. These rates are similar to those reported for other salmonid raceway facilities. Differences in waste load and fractionation between sites and between study periods may be a result of facility and management factors.","PeriodicalId":22850,"journal":{"name":"The Progressive Fish-culturist","volume":"8 8","pages":"161-172"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91512881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In sharp contrast to mammalian cells, salmonid cells acylate lysoPAF with a high degree of specificity for omega-3 fatty acids. Polyunsaturated fatty acids in the lipids in tissues of rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss are compartmentalized differently than in mammalian tissues. On extracellular challenge by PAF, trout leukocytes exhibit both chemotaxis and respiratory burst responses. During the metabolism of PAF in rainbow trout leukocytes, acylation of lysoPAF appears highly selective for docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6 n-3) and eicosapentaenoic acid (C20:5 n-3) and is localized in the endoplasmic reticulum.

There is considerable confusion about critical nutrients and fertilizer formulations for pond fertilization. The literature does not support the high application rates of nitrogen often used. Nitrate is more desirable than ammonium or urea as a source of fertilizer nitrogen. Problems in ponds with water and soil quality that are related to feeding result primarily from high inputs of feed. Organic matter is decomposed mostly to stable humus during a growing season, and there is little accumulation of highly decomposable organic matter from one crop to the next. High input of fresh organic matter to the bottom during a crop period can cause high oxygen demand in sediment, but sediment removal between growth cycles does not greatly reduce soil oxygen demand for the next crop. Organic matter resuspension without erosion of mineral soil has the potent...","PeriodicalId":22850,"journal":{"name":"The Progressive Fish-culturist","volume":"16 1","pages":"85-93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87864716","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition, many off-flavor compounds have not been identified. Although analytical sensory methods are more reliable and timely, they have their own set of problems, such as the expense of operating sensory panels. A seafood rating method is presented that has the advantage of being reliable, timely, and less expensive to operate; however this method can also fail to detect off-flavored fish.","PeriodicalId":22850,"journal":{"name":"The Progressive Fish-culturist","volume":"1 1","pages":"149-154"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85549654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, chemical methods of manipulating reproductive activity continue to be widely used in fish production operations worldwide. However, the control of fish reproduction in captivity cannot be exercised without regard to adequate environmental conditions, which can differ markedly for different species. This review provides a synopsis of relevant aspects of fish reproductive physiology and addresses current and promising future chemical methods of sex control, gonadal recrudescence, and spawning. Most research on the control of reproduction in fishes has focused on female physiology because ovarian development and maturation are easily disturbed by environmental stressors.

Factors that have contributed to the paucity of approved drugs for U.S. aquaculture include the relatively limited market for aquaculture drugs and the difficulty involved in conducting studies traditionally carried out in the drug approval process in an aquatic environment. One approach to this problem has been the development of data from other sources.

The issues and mechanisms required to use ozone are reviewed, with particular emphasis on the processes of ozone gas generation and gas-to-liquid absorption, the contact time for reaction, and the removal of residual ozone. In addition, the toxicity of ozone to humans and to aquatic organisms is discussed, as well as techniques to monitor or control ozone in both the gaseous and aqueous phases.","PeriodicalId":22850,"journal":{"name":"The Progressive Fish-culturist","volume":"14 1","pages":"94-105"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1997-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82686765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inherent to this practice is the generation of waste; however, from a waste management viewpoint, aquaculture differs in important respects from terrestrial animal farming. Measurement of actual feed intake is nearly impossible; consequently, unconsumed feed contributes a relatively large proportion of total waste output in most operations. Moreover, containment of wastes is difficult, and wastes are rapidly dispersed into the surrounding waters. Monitoring and estimating quantitative waste outputs in effluent directly is an inaccurate and costly process. Other methods of estimating the waste output from aquaculture operations should be used. Because most aquaculture wastes are dietary in origin, efforts to reduce waste should focus on nutrition and feeding, including the formulation of special diets, development of feeding systems, and improvement of the efficiency of nutrient utilization.
