MSU | Development of Bighead Catfish (Clarias macrocephalus) Culture for Sustainable Aquaculture in Cambodia. Annual report: October 2021 to September 2022

Abstract

The Goal of Development of Bighead Catfish (Clarias microcephalus) Culture for Sustainable Aquaculture in Cambodia project is to develop and apply new applied aquaculture research technologies, in order to support bighead catfish (BC) culture in Cambodia. WorldFish team works collaboratively with the CE SAIN and RUA Faculty of Fisheries teams to assess the materials available in Cambodia for a wet laboratory at RUA to be operational for aquaculture nutrition research. WorldFish produced a blueprint, in collaboration with RUA and CE SAIN, of a wet laboratory that has the capacity for fish nutrition research. This blueprint used as a reference to strengthen RUA’s Faculty of Fisheries Wet Lab and have forty 150-L aquarium, mounted in a recirculating aquaculture system (or flow-through system).
