Overall Goal
The overall goal of the 2-year project is to establish economically viable management for marine finfish aquaculture (Moi) and local aquatic feed production in the Marshall Islands and to transfer that knowledge through training programs to the RMI current and future project staff.
Objectives
Year 1
1. Feed Development: To conduct feeding trials (control and dry) in order to establish the most optimal and cost-efficient feeds for Moi
2. Outreach/Technology Transfer: To train the local workforce on feeds and fish production.
Year 2
3. Marine Aquaculture Technology Development: To conduct two (2) fish density trials to establish the most optimal and economical cage culture grow-out requirements for Moi.
4. Outreach/Technology Transfer: To train the local workforce on feeds and fish production.
