Resumen
Descripción
On December 1994 the marine fish hatchery of the Beymelek Lagoon Aquaculture Centre (Sü Ürünleri Üretim ve Gelistirme Merkez Müdürlügü - Kale, Antalya) started its second seabream fry production. On January 1995 it was followed by seabass fry production. The hatchery activity is running on a regular schedule. All units are working in a proper way and all the minor technical problems faced during the start up of the second production season have been solved. For two years in succession, the l ocal hatchery staff have been trained and thoroughly tested under true mass production conditions. It is believed that its technical skillness is at present well sufficient to run the hatchery without any further technical supervision. A greater commitment is however requested to guarantee continuity of results, as well as more attention has to be paid on the day-by-day routine work. When the consultant left (end of February), no fingerling counting was available due to their early age. Howeve r, based on the production experience of last year until April 1994, a good estimate of the hatchery final output can be assessed. In the larval unit a fairly higher larval density of seabream larvae on a greater number of tanks than last year was achieved and three out of five weaning tanks stocked with seabream eggs were running at least at the same level of 1994. Considering a total amount of 4958000 viable larvae with a conservative final survival rate of 8%, the overall final seabream out put should be around 400000 fry. As regards seabass production, four weaning tanks and five spawning tanks have been stocked with eggs for a total amount of 4794000 viable larvae. Adopting a conservative final survival rate of 20%, production should not be less than 1000000 fingerlings.
