Techniques for the Collection and Utilization of Fish Culture Wastes and Fish Processing Wastes from a Marine Aquaculture Operation

海洋水产养殖代表着一个不断增长的行业，随着该行业的发展，与鱼类养殖和鱼类加工相关的废物可能会造成污染。增加。有大量的生物废物产生于未消化的饲料和其他鱼类废物以及最终产品的不可食用部分。由于这些废物具有生物性质，它们可能在水产养殖和农业中用作饲料添加剂或肥料。这项研究旨在开发分离和收集由鱼类养殖系统产生的鱼类养殖废物和鱼类加工废物的技术。这些废物作为鱼饲料中的饲料成分和耐盐农业植物的肥料的有用性将得到测试。

Marine aquaculture represents a growing industry and as this industry grows the potential for pollution by wastes associated with fish culture and fish processing increases. There is a significant amount of biological waste arising from undigested feed and other fish waste as well as non-edible parts of the final product. Because these wastes are of a biological nature, they may have some uses in aquaculture and agriculture as feed additives or fertilizers. This research is directed toward developing techniques to separate and collect both fish culture wastes and fish processing wastes produced by a fish culture system. The usefulness of the waste as a feed ingredient in fish feed, and as fertilizer for salt tolerant agriculture plants, will be tested.
