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

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

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
