Minnows--by the million. 



Amer. Fish Farmer World Aquacult. News 1(9): 8-11 and 27. 



Information is given on sport-fishing bait demand for minnows, 



farm location factors, culture methods, production, development, 



and history of the I. F. ("Fay") Anderson minnow farm operation. 



Demand growth relates to increased leisure time and expenditures, 



and expanded reservoir water area and fish stocking.

Raising young yellowtail in Japan. 



Economic aspects of fish production, International Symposium on 



Fisheries Economics, Paris, Nov. 29 to Dec. 2, 1971, O.E.C.D., 



pp. 349-362. 



Production volume data (natural, cultured, and total) for 



1965-69, more complete data by Prefectures for 1969, culture 



technique, and cost information are given. Growing demand, 



complemented by Japanese Government policies to assist coastal 



fisheries, has prompted increased output of young, usually 



live-shipped yellowtail (1-yr., 1-2 kg at market stage). Output 



doubled between 1965 and 1969, and is expected to account for an 



increasing share of total Japanese production of yellowtail. 



Natural fry are used. Embanked ponds, net-enclosed ponds, 



floating net cages, and other devices are used. The table of 



estimated itemized costs indicates that food is the largest cost 



item (49% of gross revenue) ; profit is next (21.7%), as computed 



after deducting fry, food, wage, medicine, repair, depreciation, 



interest, and selling costs from gross.

Analysis of the economic effect of fish culture enterprises is 

 discussed. Methods and concepts of determining cost, profit and 

 return on investment (as developed by the U.S.S.R. Academy of 

 Sciences) are illustrated using 1966 data for sturgeon-breeding 

 (fry release or hatchery) enterprises in the basin of the Asov
