Description of the research topic:

Extensive systems of fish production based on natural feeds of fish ponds complemented with fodder are becoming less and less competitive because of its relatively high demand of water and area. Use of complete feeds is gaining space worldwide even in pond polyculture systems. Some parts of these feeds are traditionally fishmeal and fish oil originated from marine captures, sustainability of which is going to be more and more questionable. Replacing fishmeal and fish oil has remained one of the main objectives of developing more sustainable feeds in the past decades. The concrete goals of this PhD research project is developing and testing feeds with low and medium level of protein for common carp. These feeds supplemented with some natural feed sources (zooplankton and benthos) of the pond ecosystem can produce higher growth rate, better feed conversion and meat quality than traditional feeding of grains. Moreover, use of these semi-intensive carp feeds may also have several advantages from economic and ecologic points of views.
