Protocols for the development of indigenous species: polyculture of indigenous species under Malawian smallholder conditions
(1996)Shire tilapia, Oreochromis shiranus shiranus (Boulenger 1897), was grown in monoculture and polyculture with either straightfin barb, Barbus paludinosus (Peters 1852), or threespot barb, Barhus trimaculatus (Peters 1852), ... -
Multiple haemoglobins in three tilapiine species of the genus Oreochromis and in eight strains of O. niloticus
(1996)Among three tilapiine species, Oreochromis aureus (Steindachner), O. mossambicus (Peters) and O. niloticus (L.), fifteen banding positions of haemoglobin were resolved using citric acid-aminopropylmorpholine pH 7.0 buffer. ... -
The use of napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum) and maize (Zea mays) bran as low-cost tilapia aquaculture inputs
(1996)The objective of this study was to determine the effect of napier grass presented in various forms either alone or combined with maize bran and/or lime on the growth of T. rendalli, 0. shirunus and 0. kurongue. -
The scope of tropical reef fisheries and their management
(1996)Coral reef resource systems extend throughout the tropics and are exploited primarily by subsistence fishers, supplying food for millions of people. The magnitude of harvests per unit area taken from coralline shelves ... -
Announcing the release of FishBase 96
(1996)FishBase is a computerized encyclopedia of fishes developed at International Center for Living Aquatic Resources Management (ICLARM) with the support of the European Commission and in collaboration with a large number of ... -
Managing fisheries involving predator and prey species
(1996)Several management strategies for ecosystems with biological interaction are discussed, including predator removal, predator-prey coexistence, prey exploitation, overexploitation, and introduction of sanctuaries. Some case ... -
Clam farming in the Mekong Delta, Vietnam
(1996)The Mekong Delta region in southern Vietnam has high potential for coastal aquaculture, including mollusc culture. Many mollusc species are cultured for domestic and export markets including white clam (Meretrix lyrata ... -
Effect of planting pattern on shading and phytoplankton photosynthesis in Bangladesh rice-fish farms
(1996)In the present study, a Border Planting (BP) pattern recommended by the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Council was tested against Regular Planting (RP) to assess the effect, if any, on gross phytoplankton photosynthesis ... -
Developments in tropical reef fisheries science and management
(1996)Extinction is conceivable for some species, including aquarium-fish stocks of high value and limited geographical range, but a biological basis exists for management of such small fishes. Immediate data needs are much ... -
Food consumption/biomass ratios of the pelagic fish community of Lake Malawi/Niassa
(1996)An empirical model relating food requirements to morphometric indices of metabolic rate was used to calculate consumption/biomass ratios (Q/B) for 16 species of fish that make the pelagic fish community in Lake Malawi/Niassa. ... -
Breeding plan for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in Vietnam: combined multi-trait selection
(1996)Total freshwater aquaculture production in Vietnam in 1995 was about 300 000 tons and total brackish water aquaculture production was about 115 000 tons. Total tilapia production was about 15 000 tons, mainly produced in ... -
The effects of aquaculture on farm household economy: a case study in Omon District, Cantho Province, Vietnam
(1996)A study of the farming systems in the Mekong River Delta (Vietnam) indicate that fish culture brings to the household a higher level of net farm income and family labor use. In general, adoption of fish culture is strongly ... -
Potentials for different models for freshwater aquaculture development in the Red River Delta (Vietnam) using GIS analysis
(1996)This study was an attempt to apply land-based GIS analysis for freshwater aquaculture planning in the Red River Delta of Vietnam. It was based on diverse data sources in order to help decision makers at the site and also ... -
A global experiment on tilapia aquaculture: impacts of the Pond Dynamics/Aquaculture CRSP in Rwanda, Honduras, Philippines and Thailand
(1996)The Pond Dynamics/Aquaculture Collaborative Research Support Program (PDA/CRSP) is a global research network to generate basic science that may be used to advance aquaculture development. One of a family of research programs ... -
Partizipative Methoden in der Einfuehrung von semi-intensiven Aquakultursystemen in die traditionelle Ressourcenbewirtschaftung: Neue Ansaetze
(1996)The main characteristic of previous activities in research and development cooperation in the field of tropical aquaculture was the evaluation and dissemination of preformulated technology packages, without specific knowledge ... -
Aspects of phosphorus pollution from aquaculture
(1996)Phosphorus is an essential element for living organisms and exists in waterbodies as dissolved and particulate forms. Phosphorus is required for optimum growth, feed efficiency, bone development and maintenance of acid-base ... -
Length-weight relationships of fishes from tributaries of the Volta River, Ghana: Part II and Conclusion
(1996)Slopes and intercepts of length-weight relationships obtained from 37 populations from the rivers Oti, Pru and Black Volta in Ghana were compared using a one way analysis of covariance with fixed effects. Although no ... -
A biochemical laboratory manual for species characterization of some tilapiine fishes
(1996)This publication is both a manual for the biochemical analysis of several tissues of tilapias and an empirical demonstration of the methods for several species. Given the great and growing importance of tilapia in aquaculture ... -
