A - PRIORITY ITEMS
A.1 - To speed up as much as possible the finishing of the new weaning unit
Rationale: the existing weaning unit is at present already stocked at 67% of its capacity with seabream and seabass larvae. In a very short time the fry hosted in the larval unit will require to be transferred to larger tanks for weaning. Those available in the hatchery do not provide enough rearing volume.
Actions recommended: to give top priority to the final assembling and testing of the new unit. In particular the new sand filters must be immediately transferred to the Beymelek Centre for their assembling to the water supply system.
A.2 - To protect the banks of the inlet seawater channel
Rationale: rain washes mud off along the earth banks of inlet channel, severely polluting the water that becames unsuitable for the hatchery.
Actions requested: to line the channel slopes either with plastic sheets (unexpensive, short-term solution), or by paving with concrete (long-lasting, expensive solution) and to dig a drain on the top of both banks to avoid rain water flowing into the channel.
A.3 - To complete the main pump station
Rationale: the Eastward side of the concrete pump sump is missing because the channel feeding the semi-intensive sector has not been realized yet.
Actions requested: since the construction of the above mentioned channel is not planned for the near future, it is necessary to provide a temporary finishing of the pump sump, allowing the pumps to fill the hatchery pump sump and to provide water to the new weaning unit and the outdoor broodstock tanks.
A.4 - To recruit a new large broodstock of female seabream
Rationale: all female breeders have been treated with hormone to induce spawning. Parent fish treated with LH-RH (Luteining Hormone Releasing Hormone) can be successfully used again the next spawning season. Breeders injected with hCG (human Corionic Gonadotropin) must be replaced since they could not properly respond to a further treatment in the future since hCG can induce refractoriness in fish already treated with the same hormone.
Actions requested: to recruit one hundred healthy 1.5 kg females either from fishermen (the best), or fish farmers. Fish should be kept in floating cages moored at sea during the time riprap breackwaters are repaired to escape polluted seawater. Three month before the spawning season starts, breeder fish should be transferred into the outdoor round concrete tanks and properly fed for an optimal oocytarian development. Based on the experience of the present season, it is adviced to rely upon the nearby lagoon for the recruitment of male seabreams only, since no female was captured during 5 months of fishing activity.
A.5 - To recruit a large broodstock of seabass
Rationale: same as point A.4
Actions requested: to recruit 150 breeders weighing more than 1,5 kg. A larger numer of fish is recommended since it is not possible to sex seabass, a gonochoric species, except during the spawning season when males release sperm. Based on the output of the present fishing season (only 20 bass breeders were captured), the Beymelek lagoon cannot be considered suitable for the recruitment of large numbers of this species.
A.6 - To realize a new high voltage line for the hatchery
Why - More than 100 electric breakdowns have been experienced during the present 4-month consultancy. In most cases, they were due to breakages of the high voltage line, the same one that feeds rural areas. According to the Centre director O. Atila, this line is much more subject to failures than the high voltage line serving city districts. Power faults cause a faster wear of motors and electronic components (see point B.5), the evergreen risk of a general collapse in case the generators fail to start and an additional stress to the fish, due to the sharp variation in light intensity.
Actions requested: to realize a new electric connection of the Beymelek Centre to the high voltage electric line serving city districs.
B - OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS
B.1 - To condition an adequate stock of breeders for advanced spawning
Rationale: local fish breeders apparently start spawning not earlier than December. Earlier eggs could double production by allowing more larval rearing cycles.
Actions requested: to stock as soon as possible the four spawning tanks equipped with light and water temperature controls with broodfish and to modify their environmental conditions to mimic winter conditions two months in advance. Fish should be selected on the basis of market requirement for early fingerlings. Live food production section should start production accordingly. During the works on the dikes, a temporary source of unpolluted seawater has to be arranged.
B.2 - To modify the air supply system
Rationale: at full capacity, the present air distribution system shows flow and pressure variations in the air supply when some main utilities are closed/open during the routine job, in particular the artemia and rotifer mass culture sections.
Actions requested: to make the hatchery sections indipendent from each other as regards the air supply system. Each one of the four existing air blowers should be connected directly to the air piping of: 1. the live food production section, 2. the larval section, 3. the broodstock section and 4. the weaning section. To allow greater flexibility and security, the four main pipes should be connected to each other with valved by-passes.
B.3 - To make a thorogh clean of the hatchery at the end of the season
Rationale: the risk of desease outbreaks and poor rearing conditions is strictly linked to the quality of the rearing environment.
Actions requested: to disassemble, clean and sterilize all the rearing facilities (equipments, piping systems, tanks, biofilters, etc.), to service all engines and special equipments and to restore the seawater supply.
B.4 - To keep all small equipments and consummables in some storage rooms whose access is restricted to the heads of section only
That is the only way the consultant knows to avoid any unwanted shortage when the hatchery will start working again the next production season.
B.5 - To repair the electric board driving the light over the larval tanks
Rationale: due to the many power faults, the electronic rheostat burnt out.
Actions requested: to replace the burnt rheostat with the spare one installed inside the board (to be done at the end of the larval rearing season to avoid light discontinuity) and to order a new spare rheostat.
B.6 - To assure a timely supply of expendable materials (chemicals, dry feed, artemia cysts, enrichment diets, etc.). It is recommended to use DHA Protein Selco as enrichment diet for rotifers and DHA Super Selco for artemia metanauplii.
B.7 - To provide some spare parts of the existing equipment (recirculating pumps, diatom filters and UV water sterilizers). A complete list of what is needed has already been presented to TUBITAK for purchsing.
B.8 - To improve the safety of the light shelves in the small algal room by changing the fluorescent lamp plugs with waterproof ones.
B.9 - To introduce a thermostatic cupboard for the optimal long-term storage of algal and rotifer strains.
B.10 - To allow some selected hatchery staff to attend short-term specialized courses abroad focusing on the most recent developments on marine fish and shrimp reproduction, ongrowing and pathology. They are highly recommended to keep the hatchery staff technically updated.
B.11 - To realize an economic analysis of the present and past production seasons to assess actual production costs, optimal selling prices of fingerlings, etc. The study should be realized by local experts.
B.12 - To contact the greatest possible number of Turkish fish farmers before the next season starts again. Farmers will expose their needs of fingerlings in terms of species, size, delivery time, etc. All these informations should allow an optimal planning of the hatchery future production.
B.13 - The Beymelek Centre should provide a post-sale service to fish farmers, providing advice on the best rearing techniques, disease control, feeding methods, size selection, etc. in order to create a growing group of regular customers
B.14 - To create a technical library on marine aquaculture, focused on the Mediterranean species in particular (some titles listed in Annex 28).
B.15 - To subscribe the most important technical and commercial periodicals on marine aquaculture (main entries in Annex 95). Due to the recent cutting in government funding, it is recommended the purchase of at least the first two entries. Their subscription rates are fairly cheap and they provide a good updating of both main scientific (1) and commercial (2) aspects of aquaculture.
B.16 - To realize a cold storage room (0–5°C).
B.17 - To realize a deep freeze storage room (-25°C).
B.18 - To lower below ground floor level the pipes connecting the seawater and brackishwater pump sumps to the hatchery. This will facilitate the access to the new weaning unit.
