  1. AQUACULTURE MAKHATHINI RESEARCH STATION

  2. INTRODUCTION • AQUACULTURE CAN BE DEFINED AS THE ARTIFICIAL PROPAGATION OF AQUATIC SPECIES e.g. fish

  3. objectives • To provide fingerlings to the small-scale farmers • Promotion and demonstration of fish farming • Evaluation and implementation of aquaculture systems

  4. Fish species • Tilapia rendalli

  5. Fish species • Oreochromis Mossambicus tilapia

  6. Fish species • Claria Gariepinus • ( Catfish )

  7. Aquaculture production Systems • Earthen pond system integrated with poultry

  8. Aquaculture production systems • Intensive tank systems

  9. Aquaculture production systems • Cage system

  10. Research projectsThe effect of aquaculture on water quality used for irrigation Project objectives • Determine the impact of water quality changes on fitness – of- use for other uses. • To establish the interaction between aquaculture and irrigation activities. • To assess the resultant water quality.

  11. Catfish production in Cage system

  12. Research projectThe use of frozen ram testis for sex reversal on Oreochromis mossambicus Objectives Production of monsex fish – Why ? • Male grow faster than females • Prevent breeding which result in stunted growth.

  13. Ornamental fish

  14. Conclusion • As the world’s population and diseases increases, there is a huge demand for protein. THANK YOU
