Can community-based adaptation increase resilience
(2016)Type: Journal ArticleA central claim of community-based adaptation (CBA) is that it increases resilience. Yet, the concept of resilience is treated inconsistently in CBA, obscuring discussion of the limitations and benefits of resilience ... -
Can individual feed conversion ratio at commercial size be predicted from juvenile performance in individually reared Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus?
(2020)Type: Journal ArticleFeed conversion ratio (FCR), the ratio between feed intake and body weight gain, is of major interest for improving aquaculture sustainability through reduced feed costs and environmental impacts. Demonstrating whether FCR ... -
Can marine fisheries and aquaculture meet fish demand from a growing human population in a changing climate?
