This project is run by the Department of Fisheries and Watershed Management of KNUST, Ghana (http://frnr.knust.edu.gh/departments/fwm) in partnership with its Danish partners, DTU Aqua of the Technical University of Denmark (http://www.aqua.dtu.dk/English).

The quality of selected feed ingredients and test diets will be tested at the facilities of the DTU Aqua. Feed trials and digestibility studies on tilapia will be conducted in research recirculation facilities in Denmark and Ghana. The studies in Denmark will be carried out in close cooperation between the Danish scientific staff and Ghanaian students. The studies will serve as benchmarks for the studies carried out in ponds at KNUST and cages. The Danish partner(s) will serve as co-supervisors for the PhD and MPhil students.
