This report details the results of a consultancy carried out to develop carp feed using locally available ingredients for use at the Aiyura carp station, administered by the Fisheries Division of the Department of Primary Industry. Baseline data on agricultural feed resources of Papua New Guinea are summarized, and national agricultural and industrial by-products identified for potential use as carp feed at the Aiyura carp station and surrounding highland village fish ponds. The principle by-pro ducts identified are coffee pulp, pasture and arable crop waste, barley mill sweepings, livestock manure, copra cake and wheat mill run. On the basis of the feed resources available, a low-cost semiintensive feed strategy, using a combination of organic fertilization and supplementary feeding, is recommended for use at the Aiyura carp station and village fish ponds, and is fully described
