Reviews and recommendations
This information was not provided on the original proposals, but was generated during the review process.
Comment:
This marginally innovative (but intriguing) proposal would demonstrate the ability to grow huge amounts of housefly larvae on a commercial scale. The larvae would be used as a salmonid hatchery diet component. This is not a critical problem facing resources in the basin and the proposal does not demonstrate a need in the Fish and Wildlife Program. The information to be gained is proprietary, and thus may not be useful publicly. This is one of several proposals that identify diet deficiency as etiology/precondition for fin erosion, but provide no experimental design for assessing how the insect product could be used to ameliorate the problem.Comment:
Project appears to be for product development within incorporated companies operated for profit. Not a priority of fish and wildlife managers to use Musca domesticata as a food source for hatchery fish. Proposal does not demonstrate that the proposed food source is a better food source than already available food sources.Comment:
