Dietary Protein and Lipid Requirements of Golden Shiners and Goldfish

Document format: pdf

Publisher: Southern Regional Aquaculture Center

Creation date: March 1998

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.
