Optimizing the growth and marketing of fish in a controlled 



environment. 



Mar. Tech. Soc. J. 9 (5) : 13-16. 



An optimizing model is presented for salmonid aguaculture, 



although it is adaptable to any species of interest. It is 



illustrated using hypothetical data; it can be solved using any 



standard linear programming algorithm. Physical plant and 



related fixed costs are assumed, so that the optimization 



decisions relate to operating costs (which are functionally 



dependent on biomass and temperature regimes) and revenues. Fish 



size at time of sale and seasonal phasing of marketing are 



considered. 



Subject descriptors: 



Salmon; systems analysis.

Salmon — future harvest from the Antarctic Ocean? 



Mar. Fish. Bev. 36 (5) : 20-28. 



Salmon has been chosen as the most likely candidate for the 



introduction of fish farming in the Antarctic Ocean. Scientists 



are anxious to introduce fish farming into the Antarctic region 



primarily because of the high potential of using krill, a small 



shrimplike crustacean, as food for the translocated fish. Ihe 



natural abundance of krill in the Antarctic Ocean would provide 



food for the salmon and thus reduce production costs for the 



farming operation. The authors discuss the oceanography of the 



Antarctic, wind patterns, and probability of adaptation of each 



salmon species to the Antarctic climate. Several maps and tables 



are also presented.
