| Abstract |
This technical paper presents the findings of an FAO Regional Technical Cooperation Project on the use of trash fish/low-value fish and pellets as feed for marine cage farming. Implemented in China, Indonesia, Thailand and Viet Nam, its components included a farmers’ participatory on-farm trials and a concurrent survey of farmers’ perceptions concerning the use of trash fish/low-value fish and pellet feeds and microcredit, environmental impact assessments of the use of two feed types, and a survey of the potential impacts of a change to pellet feeds on livelihoods of fishers and suppliers of trash fish. There were indications of benefits to farmers and the environment of adopting pellet feeds. Improving feed management can boost technical and economic performance from pellet feeds. The recommendations include providing the opportunities and enabling farmers to translate their positive attitude into sustained adoption of pellet feeds. Enablers include reasonable credit facility, species- and growth-stage-specific feed, farmers being associated and sound technical advice. Farmers requested a standardized better management practice guide in cage mariculture. Losing the cage culture industry as their direct market would have minimal impact on the livelihood of fishers and fish suppliers; they have robust coping mechanisms that policy and technical assistance from government could strengthen. |
