Introduction
You have got larval fish!! Great!!
Now what??
You should feed them.
By what?
Plankton
Phytoplankton
Microalgae (phytoplankton)
Nutritionally, microalgae are a good source of macro and micronutrients for some larval fish.
Fatty acids and pigments gained from ingestion of microalgae are especially important for larval fish health.
Spirulina: Ultimate Food?
Cultured for over 600 years.
~65-68% protein (similar to herring)
One ha of this stuff
produces 25 tons of protein
(wheat only gets you 5 tons)
Other
Chlorella and Scenedesmus are also excellent sources of protein.
Could yield 100 tons/ha/yr
That would be feeding 2500 cows for a year with a one ha pond of this stuff 1m deep!!

Figure 2.3. Five growth phases of micro-algae cultures.
Culture Types
Indoor/Outdoor. Indoor culture allows control over illumination, temperature, nutrient level, contamination with predators and competing algae, whereas outdoor algal systems make it very difficult to grow specific algal cultures for extended periods.
Open/Closed. Open cultures such as uncovered ponds and tanks (indoors or outdoors) are more readily contaminated than closed culture vessels such as tubes, flasks, carboys, bags, etc.
Axenic (=sterile)/Xenic. Axenic cultures are free of any foreign organisms such as bacteria and require a strict sterilization of all glassware, culture media and vessels to avoid contamination. The latter makes it impractical for commercial operations.
Inoculation
Culture vessels 1,000 ml flask 18.7 L (5 gal.)
Carboy (glass) 178 L (47 gal) Transparent
Tank Add enough algae to give a strong
tint to the water 100,000-200,000/ml
Lighting Types Sunlight Fluorescent VHO fluorescent Metal halide
Highest Densities: 24/7

BENEFITS OF SEAWEEDS CULTIVATION
Seaweeds farms acts as nutrient sinks
Seaweeds farms increase the primary productivity
The farms act as habitat for certain fish and shell fish
Seaweeds farming provides a sustainable lively hoods
In many cases women are involved in seaweeds farming
Many old people are engaged in tying and drying of seaweeds
Since it is a sustainable and lucrative business, it prevents
migration
Since seaweeds are cash crops it gives instant money to the
farmers
In many island nations, these seaweeds have become the crops
with highest export earnings
Molusca
Production of molluscs in the World
In 2000, the World aquaculture production of molluscs was estimated at 10.73 millions of metric tonnes by the FAO it represented 23.5% contribution to the global aquaculture production
Top five cultivated mollusc species the Pacific oyster, Crassostrea gigas (3 944 042 metric tons)
the Japanese carpet shell, Ruditapes philippinarum (1 693 tmt)
the Yesso scallop, Patinopecten yessoensis (1 132 tmt)
the blue mussel, Mytilus edulis (458 tmt)
and the blood cockle, Anadara granosa (319 tmt),
a total of 42 mollusc species contributes to the production
This production is still increasing

Common problems
Mollusc aquaculture is primarily an aquaculture activity and therefore shares common problems with the finfish and crustacean aquaculture sectors;
Although no specific problems as compared to finfish and crustacean aquaculture, relative importance of these problems may be specific to the mollusc aquaculture sector.
Transfers and introductions: a baseline of mollusc aquaculture
In many countries, mollusc aquaculture is traditionally based on wild stocks which frequently do not fulfil market demand
because of poor market value of the products, over-fishing of the resource, environmental disorders or impact of diseases
An answer to this has very often been the introduction of new species or transfers of new stocks
cultural improvements and hatchery production increase the demand for transfers of live molluscs
Management of diseases
No vaccines, and treatments difficult to apply
Health management in impacted zones
In an area free of a disease, the key point is to avoid any introduction of infected stocks
standards, guidelines and recommendations are provided at international, regional and national levels
efforts have been made to improve diagnostic methods for diseases of molluscs
however, transfers are not the unique route of disease introduction or emergence
Summary
Mollusc production, world-wide 5 main species of economic interest highly dynamic sector of production Asia is the main region although important producing countries
exist outside the region variety of culture systems
Current problems most of current problems are shared with other sectors transfers and introductions as underlying cause of disease outbreaks health management for invertebrates is a challenge in open water
systems zoning, monitoring and surveillance of important diseases is the corner
stone of health management other control option may exist depending on the culture system
