During my contribution to the seminar on the research aquaculture\nneeds in the region, I had the chance to visit two marine fish hatcheries – as far\nas I remember located in Limassol. The focus of the hatcheries during that time\nwas to produce fingerlings of gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata<\/em>) and\nEuropean seabass (Dicentrachus labrax<\/em>). I will not be surprised if the\nfocus continues to be the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The artificial reproduction of the two species seemed fully\nmastered during that time and even simplified.  Outdoor tanks in these hatcheries are used for\nthe spawning whereas egg ovulation and fertilization occur naturally in the tanks.\nFertilized eggs float over water surface and move with the water current to a small\nannexed container lined by plankton net with appropriate mesh allowing an easy collection\nof eggs to continue the incubation, hatching and nursing in indoor facilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the hatcheries I visited (and probably the second) relied\non underground water drawn from more than one well whereas water is of high\nquality and mostly of steady temperature. The coastal wells serving a hatchery\nare at different depths and salinity. This enabled the hatchery to acclimatize the\nproduced fry\/fingerlings according to the required salinity in the receiving farms.\nThe outflow water goes through filtration and settling ponds before it is\nreleased back into the sea.\n\nMy visit to the hatchery took place during the\nlast week of October, 1991.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
