A pilot study to evaluate the effects of variable flow on Arctic Char growth rate in a Myera tank system

水产养殖最初引入加拿大是为了增加天然鱼类资源，但自那以来已发展成为一种 为加拿大许多地方和区域经济提供收入的大型商业工业。这个 北极炭作为一种商业上可行的物种在食用鱼行业的使用正在增长，尤其是 作为北方社区水产养殖的一种很有吸引力的物种。肉质是一个关键的终点 养殖鱼类的生产，运动对多种生化和细胞有显著影响 改善肌肉质量的参数。Myera坦克的设计是一种利用空运的新型坦克设计 在封闭的水产养殖系统中产生流动和引导废物的机制。然而，其有效性 坦克的设计还有待于在生产环境中进行检验。拟议的研究将与Myera合作 马尼托巴大学的鱼类生理学和水产养殖专家小组。这项研究将检验 采用新型水槽设计的运动对黄海对虾生长速度、食物转化效率和鱼类健康的影响 养殖的北极炭。该结果将为该公司努力建立全面的水产养殖实践提供参考 生产北极炭作为商业可行的水产养殖物种的最适池塘条件 马尼托巴省。

Aquaculture was first introduced in Canada to enhance natural fish stocks but has since grown into a large-scale commercial industry providing income to many local and regional economies across Canada. The use of Arctic Char as a commercially viable species in the food fish industry is growing and is particularly attractive as a species for aquaculture in Northern communities. Flesh quality is a key end point in the production of farmed fish, with exercise having a pronounced effect on a variety of biochemical and cellular parameters improving muscle quality. The Myera tank design is a novel tank design making use of airlift mechanisms for generating flow and directing waste in a closed aquaculture system. However, the effectiveness of the tank design has yet to be examined in a production setting. The proposed research will partner Myera group with fish physiology and aquaculture expertise at the University of Manitoba. The research will examine the effects of exercise using the novel tank design on growth rate, food conversion efficiency, and fish health of cultured Arctic Char. The results will inform full scale aquaculture practices as the company works to establish optimal tank conditions for the production of Arctic Char as a commercially viable aquaculture species in the province of Manitoba.
