(1997)Type: Journal ArticleThe sagittal otoliths of bluespot jobfish (Pristipomoides flamentosus) from the Mahe Plateau, Seychelles, were examined for growth rings using light microscopy. Banding with putative annual and monthly frequency were ... -
Can the global adoption of genetically improved farmed fish increase beyond 10%, and how?
(2015)Type: Journal ArticleThe annual production from global aquaculture has increased rapidly from 2.6 million tons or 3.9% of the total supply of fish, shellfish and mollusks in 1970, to 66.7 million tons or 42.2% in 2012, while capture fisheries ... -
Can water productivity metrics guide allocation of freshwater to inland fisheries?
(2010)Type: Journal ArticleWater productivity (WP) metrics have proven useful in comparing production efficiency of various crops. Recently, it has also been proposed to facilitate more equitable allocation of scarce freshwater resources between ... -
Can we use traditional length-based fish stock assessment when growth is seasonal?
(1990)Type: Journal ArticleBased on simulated catch data, this contribution shows that standard length-converted catch curves cannot be used for accurately estimating total mortality when growth oscillates seasonally. Some implications for length-based ... -
Capacitating Farmers and Fishers to Manage Climate Risks in South Asia (CaFFSA)
(2019)Type: BriefClimate variability has a profound influence on fisheries and agriculture in South Asia, including the service industry and value chains. Progress in weather and sub-seasonal/seasonal forecasting has significantly increased ... -

Capacity to innovate from a system CGIAR research program perspective
(2014)Type: BriefThe three system CGIAR research programs on Integrated Systems for the Humid Tropics, Dryland Systems and Aquatic Agricultural Systems have included "capacity to innovate" as an intermediate development outcome in their ... -
Capture and culture fisheries in Chinese lakes
(1980)Type: Journal ArticleChinese freshwater resources contribute significantly to the country's fish supply. A brief account of the fish cultivation techniques in some of the lakes visited by the Philippine Study Team in May 1980 is presented. The ... -
Captured-based aquaculture of groupers
(2008)Type: ReportIn order to alleviate the pressure on wild grouper stocks, many nations have promoted aquaculture in the hopes of producing a more sustainable grouper yield. However, full-cycle culture of most grouper species is not yet ... -
Capturing the value of fisheries using photovoice
(2020)Type: NewsletterMen and women contribute to fisheries in many ways. However, women’s contribution to coastal fisheries is often not counted and is less recognised in the Pacific. Furthermore, most data collected in the Pacific on fisheries ... -
