Location: Natural Products Utilization Research
Project Number: 6060-41000-011-000-D
Project Type: In-House Appropriated
Start Date: Nov 17, 2014
End Date: Oct 27, 2019
Objective:
1. Develop management strategies to mitigate pre-harvest microbial-derived off-flavors in fish cultured in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) to reduce off-flavor delayed harvest.
2. Discover and develop management strategies to mitigate pre-harvest microbial-derived off-flavors in fish cultured in outdoor earthen ponds to reduce off-flavor delayed harvest.
2.A. Evaluate and identify the impact of split-pond production practices in reducing or enhancing the incidences and intensities of common pre-harvest off-flavors in channel catfish.
2.B. Further evaluation of biofloc technology (BFT) production systems for the benefits in managing common pre-harvest off-flavors in cultured finfish.
2.C. Evaluation of a biocontrol approach in reducing the abundance of common off-flavor producing cyanobacteria in catfish production ponds.
