[Sc-aquaponics] The Forwarded Fish | October 24, 2017

[Smith, Matthew A.]

All,

attached is a PDF of the latest edition Arkansas Aquafarming. Several articles discuss largemouth bass production and feeding. To go along with an earlier Forwarded Fish, I want to direct focus on the first article titled "Comparison of Different Pond Production Systems for Raising Largemouth Bass".  In this study, traditional systems had the highest average final weight in comparison the three treatments (traditional ponds plus a bacteria treatment, split ponds, and intensively aerated ponds). More research is appearing in the literature on alternative production systems to improve growth/ac, increase a farmer's ability to manage their ponds, and/or improve the farmer's bottom line.

Other than LMB production and feeding, there is and article titled "Inefficiency Factors and Economic Impact of Baitfish and Sportfish Production" that a few may find interesting.

The Forwarded Fish is a specific video, extension newsletter, previous PowerPoint presentation, or something similar (University based) that I will send to Aqua-Ohio and SC-aquaponics every other week. I encourage everyone to give it a read or watch and if you come up with specific questions then feel free to ask the "group" or e-mail me separately at smith.11460 at osu.edu<mailto:smith.11460 at osu.edu>. I'd be glad to chat more or clarify something you read. If you have a specific fact sheet or video that you would like me to use then feel free to forward it to me and I'll review it and possibly send it out to the group for discussion.
