Description
Abstract: The Pond Dynamics/Aquaculture Collaborative Research Support Program (PD/A CRSP) was established at El Carao National Fish Culture Research Center, Comayagua, Honduras in l983. Since that time, research has been conducted on fish stocking rates, the use of inorganic and organic fertilizer, supplemental feeding, and combinations of fertilization and supplemental feeding for fish production. The goal of this work has been to increase fish production and profitability by small- and medium-scale commercial producers using a technology that relies heavily on enhancement of natural pond productivity using locally available nutrient inputs.
