Oct 1, 2006- Sep 30, 2011
• Oregon State University awarded
$8.9-million grant to support
aquaculture and fisheries worldwide
through the AquaFish CRSP
• Represents a 50% cut to aquaculture
research previously done in ACRSP
First RFP 2007-2009
•
•
•
•
•
6 projects awarded
All major regions and foci covered
New participants
Competitive, externally reviewed
USAID approval required for sites (eg
Bangladesh)
• All 6 projects can continue, based on
performance
New CRSP Goal and Focus
Goal - “…create global partnerships that
develop sustainable solutions in aquaculture
and fisheries for improving health, building
wealth, conserving natural environments for
future generations and strengthening poorer
societies ability to self-govern”
• Focus on reducing poverty in developing
countries by improving access to fish and
water resources

Mitigating Negative Environmental Impacts
1. Production System Design & Best Management
Alternatives
• Polyculture of sahar (Tor putitora) with mixedsex Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
• Co-sponsorship of "second international
workshop on cultivation and biotechnology of
marine algae: an alternative for sustainable
development in Latin America and the
Caribbean"
• Training in best management practices for the
production of molluscs in the states of Nayarit
and Sinaloa
2. Sustainable Feed Technology
• Local ingredients substituting for fishmeal in
tilapia and pacu diets in Guyana
• Alternative feeds for freshwater aquaculture
species
• Feeding reduction strategies and alternative
feeds to reduce production costs of tilapia
culture
3. Indigenous Species Development
• Development of snook (Centropomus spp) seed
production technology for application in aquaculture
and restocking of over-fished populations
• Incorporation of the native cichlids, tenhuayaca,
Petenia splendida and castarrica, Cichlasoma
urophthalmus into sustainable aquaculture in Central
America: improvement of seedstock quality and
substitution of fish meal use in diets
• Oyster-relaying and depuration in open ocean
locations
4. Quality Seedstock Development
• Broodstock seed quality and fingerling
production systems rearing for Nile tilapia in
the Philippines
• Development of small-scale Clarias
fingerlings as bait for Lake Victoria
commercial fisheries in Western Kenya
5. Human Health Impacts of Aquaculture
• Monitoring and reducing microcystins in
tilapias and channel catfish cultured in a
variety of aquaculture systems
• Food safety study of leafy greens irrigated
with tilapia farm effluents
• Microbiological quality of shellfish growing
waters and tissues
6. Food Safety & Value-Added Product Development
• Maximizing the utilization of low value or
small size fish for human consumption
through appropriate value added
production development
7. Technology Adoption & Policy Development
• Feed technology adoption and policy
development for fisheries management
• Internet-based extension podcasts for
tilapia farmers in the Philippines
• AquaFish CRSP sponsorship of the
eighth international symposium of
Tilapia in aquaculture to be held in
Egypt (October 12-14, 2008)
8. Marketing, Economic Risk Assessment, & Trade
• Competition and impacts between use
of low value/trash fish for aquaculture
feed versus use for human food
• Developing supply chain and group
marketing systems for fish farmers in
Ghana and Kenya
• On farm verification of tilapia-catfish
predation culture
9. Watershed & Integrated Coastal Zone Management
• Characterization of pond effluents and
biological and physiochemical
assessment of receiving waters in
Ghana
• Determination of carrying capacity of
the Boca Camichin Estuary in reference
to oyster culture
10. Mitigating Negative Environmental Impacts
• Assessment of diversity and bioecological
characteristics of low value/trash fish species
• Impact of introduction of alien species on the
fisheries and biodiversity of indigenous
species in Zhanghe Reservoir of China and
Tri An Reservoir of Vietnam
• Elimination of MT from aquaculture
masculinization systems: use of catalysis with
titanium dioxide and bacterial degradation
Other Projects
• HCPI Tilapia Exchange Project (Phase II):
Brazil, South Africa, Ghana, Vietnam,
Philippines, Thailand, Honduras, Mexico,
Kenya)
• HCPI Phase III (or Son of Phase II?): Airbreathing fishes
• Mali Fisheries Mgmt and Aquaculture Project
• Possible other associate awards
Second RFP: Expected to be
released early 2009
Fill Gap-areas in portfolio: possibly 1-2 new projects
Africa focus (IEHA countries)
2 Possible “gap” Themes:
Enhanced Trade Opportunities for Global Fishery Markets
Food Safety & Value-Added Product Development
All 10 topic areas but special emphasis on several “gap”
topics, including (in priority order):
Improved Health and Nutrition, Food Quality, and Food
Safety
Watershed & Integrated Coastal Zone Management
Quality Seedstock Development
