Báo cáo nghiên cứu nông nghiệp Building Aquafeeds R&D Capacity for Intensive Aquaculture in Vietnam

The overall objective of the project is to increase food security and income of rural Vietnamese in coastal communities by improving the profitability, and environmental sustainability, of intensive aquaculture in Vietnam. This addresses identified priorities of the CARD Program to build capacity in areas of fisheries and aquaculture and livestock feed improvement. This will be delivered by building the teaching and research base for aquaculture nutrition at the University of Fisheries (UoF) at Nha Trang.By developing this capability, aquaculture nutritional research carried out in Vietnam will develop cheaper, better and more environmentally responsible aquafeeds....

This addresses identified priorities of theCARD Program to build capacity in areas of fisheries and aquaculture and livestock feedimprovement. This will be delivered by building the teaching and research base foraquaculture nutrition at the University of Fisheries (UoF) at Nha Trang.By developing this capability, aquaculture nutritional research carried out in Vietnam willdevelop cheaper, better and more environmentally responsible aquafeeds.Additionally, aquaculture graduates and postgraduates in Vietnam will become moreproficient in aquaculture.ObjectivesAquaculture graduates and postgraduates in Vietnam will become more proficient inaquaculture feed technology with this knowledge being applied for long term benefits toVietnamese culture. Through these mechanisms, intensive aquaculture in Vietnam willbecome more ecologically sustainable and profitable.Australia will derive benefit through complementary research being carried out to developformulated pelleted diets for the on-growing of tropical rock lobsters - an emergingaquaculture industry in Australia. These outcomes will be achieved by:a) Developing a collaborative aquafeed research project between CMR and UoF to facilitate technology transfer between Australia and Vietnam for the mutual benefit of aquaculture sectors of both countriesb) Providing training to increase the aquaculture nutrition skill base at UoF and to provide Vietnamese post-graduates with opportunities to study aquaculture nutrition.c) Disseminating and show-casing project achievements at scientific forums, by the holding of a technical workshop in Vietnam and extension of research findings to the aquaculture industry. 1Outputs and Performance indicators Outputs Performance IndicatorsUoF Outputs i) Scheduled project activities are♦ Audit of feeding practises used in the completed on time (staff employed, intensive culture of tiger shrimp, grouper facilities established and experiments and lobster in central/southern coastal completed) Vietnam♦ Inventory of manufactured aquafeed and ii) AusAID is provided with reports feedstock supplies available in of project activities at six-monthly central/southern coastal Vietnam intervals and the final report by 31♦ Database on the biochemical composition of August 2002 aquafeeds and agricultural/fishery commodities identified as having significant potential for use in pelleted aquafeeds. iii) Improved trash fish feeding♦ Guidelines for the improved use of trash fish practises for intensive grouper and for intensive culture of grouper and rock lobster culture are being adopted in lobster Vietnam♦ Capability at UoF to undertake aquafeeds R&D iv) Pelleted diet are developed thatCMR Outputs enable juvenile tropical rock lobsters to♦ Highly attractive/palatable pelleted diets grow at rates equal to or better than that developed that stimulate food consumption achieved with natural foods and promote growth and development of juvenile tropical rock lobsters v) The requirements of rock lobsters♦ Nutritionally-balanced pelleted diets for for high-cost nutrients are determined growth and development for juvenile rock lobsters developed vi) Training UoF personnel in♦ Pelleted diets for tropical rock lobster that aquaculture nutrition research have a low re ...
