dc.description.abstract Although conditions for aquaculture in Uganda and East-Africa are favourable, production remains low. One of the primary limitations to aquaculture development in the region is the lack of economical aquafeeds produced from local raw materials. In this thesis, four experiments were conducted to contribute to the solution of this problem: 1) Defining the optimum experimental design in fish growth studies (i.e., the number of fish and replication level of treatments) and the best statistical methods to analyse the results. Variance estimates from 24 growth studies were similar, hence experiments set in triplicates and with n of 50-100 are recommended for all fish growth studies. A mixed model ANOVA is suitable for analyzing dose response data. 2) Studying the effects of dietary lipid oxidation on farmed fish. The results suggest that lipid oxidation does not affect the growth of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in ponds where they have access to plankton rich in vitamin E. 3) Comparing the effects of the commonly used ethoxyquin (EQ) and novel antioxidants in aquafeeds, rosemary oil (RM; Rosmarinus officinalis) and bladderwrack (BW; Fucus vesiculosus), on farmed fish and their efficacy in preventing oxidation of fish oil. The results suggest that RM can be as effective in preventing oxidation of oils as EQ. Moreover, RM appears to promote better growth than does either EQ or BW. 4) Testing locally available ingredients as alternative protein sources to replace fish meal in aquafeeds. The results suggest that the meal made from the freshwater shrimp Caridina nilotica, a by-catch from pelagic fisheries, is economically viable replacement ingredient for Rastrineobola argentea fishmeal currently used in aquafeeds. The results of these experiments provide useful information for the future development of aquaculture in Uganda and in other parts of East-Africa.
dc.description.abstract Þótt aðstæður til fiskeldis í Úganda og Austur-Afríku séu góðar, þá er fiskeldisframleiðsla á svæðinu ennþá fremur lítil. Helsta hindrun frekari vaxtar fiskeldis er skortur á hagkvæmu fóðri, sem framleitt er úr hráefnum af svæðinu. Í doktorsverkefninu voru gerðar tilraunir sem taka á þessu vandamáli: 1) Með því að skilgreina kjöruppsettningu vaxtartilrauna (heppilegasta fjölda fiska og endurtekninga meðferða) og bestu tölfræðiaðferðir til þess að greina gögnin. 2) Könnuð voru áhrif þránunar á lýsi í fóðri á fiska. Niðurstöðurnar benda til þess að þránun hafi ekki áhrif á vöxt Nílar borra (Oreochromis niloticus) í tjörnum þar sem gnægt er af þörungasvifi, ríku af andoxunarefnum. 3) Borin var saman andoxunarvirkni ethoxiquin (EQ), sem mikið er notað í fiskafóðri, og nýrra andoxunarefna: rósmarínolíu (RM; Rosmarinus officinalis) og blöðruþangs (BÞ; Fucus vesiculosus). Niðurstöðurnar benda til þess að RM geti hindrað þránun lýsis jafn vel og EQ auk þess að hvetja til betri vaxtar fiskanna en EQ eða BÞ. 4) Ný hráefni í fiskifóðri, sem framleidd eru í Úganda, voru prófuð. Niðurstöðurnar benda til þess að hagkvæmt sé að nota rækjuna Caridina nilotica, sem er meðafli úr fiskveiðum í Viktoríuvatni, í fóður og skipta þannig út fiskimjöli úr Rastrineobola argentea, sem nýta má beint til manneldis. Niðurstöður þessara tilrauna eru mikilvægt framlag til frekari þróunar fiskeldis í Úganda og Austur- Afríku.
