2009/728 Sustainable feeds and feed management for Yellowtail Kingfish



By David Stone

 

 

Yellowtail Kingfish, Seriola lalandi, is the main closed cycle finfish cultured in South Australia (SA) and this industry has great potential to expand in other states of Australia. One of the major inefficiencies identified by industry was feeds and feed management in CST‟s Yellowtail Kingfish production. Henceforth, the newly formed CST Research Management Advisory Group (RMAG) identified improving feed conversion ratios (FCR) in Yellowtail Kingfish operations as an urgent priority.

 

The research carried out in this project improved the feed conversion efficiencies and sustainable production of Yellowtail Kingfish; and improved the ability to formulate commercial diets with nutrient specifications more suited to the seasonal production of Yellowtail Kingfish.
