Dietary Protein and Lipid Requirements of Golden Shiners and Goldfish

No Author Listed

Modern intensive baitfish culture relies heavily on prepared feeds and has largely replaced semi-intensive culture methods which relied on natural foods available in the pond. Until now, prepared feeds used to supplement natural foods for baitfish were actually formulated to meet the protein and lipid needs of other cultured species such as channel catfish. However, due to the increased dependence on prepared feeds for growing baitfish, the cost effectiveness of these commercial feeds has been questioned. To address these concerns, aquaculture specialists at the University of Arkansas, Pine Bluff (UAPB) have conducted research to determine the protein and lipid requirements of commercially important baitfish species.

Aquaculture bio-filters and aquarium biofilters are biological filters. Fish farms and garden ponds use filters. Freshwater filters and saltwater filters use the same biological filters as biofiltration systems. Biofilters use bacteria to filter water. QuikSand filters are biological filters. Marine, reef, fresh, salt, tropical fish, bait, bass, catfish, coral, crawfish, koi, lobster, prawn, shrimp, trout and salmon all need water bio filters for biological filtration.
