Preliminary work was carried out to evaluate the production costs in a poly—
valent hatchery operation in continental climate condition. Evaluating precise
production costs seems necessary in all fishfarms. A specific computer program
is then of great help to have a rapid evalution of these costs. This makes it
possible for the fishfarmer to take decisions which will optimize each bree—
ding stage. It is also used to compare the different breeding stages to see
which one has the best ”profitability". This program is written in Basic and
is used on a computer Apple two. It calculates production costs for Carp and
Pike at the following stages : in carp —larvae, juveniles 3 weeks and 3 months
old; in pike —larvae and fingerling. Three groups of parameters are taken into
account
:
]) production characteristics : this includes the weight and number
of fish, and the survival rates; 2) variable costs : (price of food, energy,
equipment, labor, ...) fixed costs : (interest and amortized capital cost);
3) saling prices. The total input represents 35 elements for each stage and
each one
can
be
changed without affecting the others. The program calculates
the following wariables : ]) costs of equipment, labor, amortized capital and
interests; Z) economic indicators : production/ha, profit/kg (or unit) and
profit/ha. This can be summarized by a diagram :

It is
then possible to study each parameter separately and it's influence on

If
used in the long run it may lead to a better understanding
