The World Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) predict that the
world’s population will reach over 9 billion within 2050, which is
approximately 34% higher than today. Nearly all of this population
increase is expected to occur in developing countries. Urbanization will
also continue at an accelerated pace, and about 70% of the world’s
population will become urban over next 3 decades (compared to 49%
today). In addition, income levels in 2050 will be many multiples of
what they are now. Hence, the biggest challenge in the future will be to
find ways to feed this larger, more urban and richer population. FAO
has forecasted sea catches to stop growing at 85 – 90 million tonnes a
year and all incremental demands would have to be met by culturing. By
2030 aquaculture production is estimated to reach more than 90 – 95
million tonnes, a prognosis based on 3% annual growth. Moreover, to
support projected food demands in 2050, production must rise an
estimated 70% above current values to allow the global population to
continue to consume seafood products at the current rate. Thus, the
expected deficits in food supply the next decades are currently being
targeted by several stakeholders, NGOs and Governments around the world.

Feeding and Feed Management Carps
This study reviews the aquaculture of Indian major carps, rohu (Labeo rohita), catla (Catla catla) and mrigal (Cirrhinus cirrhosus) with special reference to current feeding and feed management practices in Andhra Pradesh, India. The study is based on a survey of 106 farmers from four regions in Andhra Pradesh (Kolleru, Krishna, West Godavari, and Nellore). Kolleru and the surrounding districts of Krishna and West Godavari are the primary culture areas. In Nellore district, Indian major carp culture is practiced at a lower intensity to that practiced in Kolleru. In East Godavari district, Indian major carps are primarily cultured in polyculture systems with either black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) or giant river prawns (Macrobrachium rosenbergii). While the study primarily focused on the feed management practices associated with Indian major carp production, management practices that are used under polyculture conditions with other species-groups were also assessed.

Post Harvest Technology
Chitin Extraction
http://www.ftb.com.hr/25.Arbia_et_al.pdf
Summary
After cellulose chitin is the most widespread biopolymer in nature. Chitin and its derivatives have great economical value because of their biological activities and their industrial and biomedical applications. It can be extracted from three sources, namely crustaceans, insects and microorganisms. However, the main commercial sources of chitin are shells of crustaceans such as shrimps, crabs, lobsters and krill that are supplied in large quantities by the shellfish processing.
Post Harvest Loss
http://www.fao.org/docrep/014/i2241e/i2241e.pdfPost-harvest fish loss assessment in small-scale fisheries :A guide for the extension officer
Post-harvest fish losses are a major concern and occur in most fish distribution chains throughout the world. Not only do losses constitute lost income to fishers, processors and traders but they also contribute to food insecurity – a loss of fish means less fish available for the consumer. This manual has been developed as a tool to guide fisheries extension workers and other development practitioners on ways in which to assess post-harvest fish losses and help plan reduction interventions in small-scale fisheries (SSFs). It is a product of almost two decades of extensive fieldwork and unremitting collaboration among individuals and institutions, particularly FAO and the Natural Resources Institute (NRI) of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, which was concluded by the Post-harvest Fish Loss Assessment (PHFLA) Working Group
organized and facilitated by FAO from 2006 to 2008 within the regional Africa PHFLA Programme.
