This is also called a "Flow from
end to end method. Trout and other activity fish are often rise from eggs
to fry or fingerlings
and then trucked to streams and at large. Normally, the fry are raised in long,
shallow tangible tanks, fed with clean stream water. The fry receive commercial
fish food in pellets. While not as efficient as the New Alchemists' method, it
is also far simpler, and has been old for many years to stock streams with game
fish. European eel (Anguilla Anguilla) agriculturalists acquire a limited supply of glass eels, juvenile stages of the
European eel which bathing north from the Sargasso Sea
reproduction grounds, for their farms. The
European eel is threatened with extermination because of the extreme catch of
glass eels by Spanish fishermen and over fishing of adult eels in, e.g., the Dutch Ijsselmeer, Netherlands. As
per 2005, no one has managed to breed the European eel in imprisonment. The
issue of feeds in fish agricultural has been a controversial one. Many cultured
fishes (papilla, carp, and catfish, many others) necessitate no meat or fish harvest
in their diets. Top-level carnivores (most salmon species) depend on fish feed
of which a portion is usually derived from wild caught (anchovies,
menhaden, etc.). Vegetable-derived proteins have successfully
replaced fish meal in feeds for carnivorous fishes, but vegetable-derived oils
have not successfully been incorporated into the diets of carnivores. Secondly,
farmed fish are kept in concentrations never seen in the wild (e.g. 50,000 fish
in a 2-acre (8,100 m2) area. However, fish tend also to be
animals that collective into large schools at high density. Most winning
aquaculture species are schooling species, which do not have social problems at
high density. Agriculturists tend to feel that operating a rearing system above
its design capacity or above the social density limit of the fish will result
in decreased growth rate and increased FCR (food conversion ratio - kg dry
feed/kg of fish produced), which will effect in increased cost and risk of
health evils along with a decrease in profits. Stressing the animals is not enviable,
but the concept of and measurement of stress must be viewed from the
perspective of the animal using the methodical method
