Quality assessment of improved sun dried ribbon fish (Trichiurus haumela) by salt and turmeric powder treatment
(2017)Type: Journal ArticleA study was conducted to formulate a decent quality salted dry ribbon fish (Trichiurus haumela) using solar tent dryer. Sodium salt and turmeric (Curcuma longa) powder were used as ingredients. The quality changes during ... -
Quantified uncertainties in Comparative Life Cycle Assessment: What can be concluded?
(2018)Type: Journal ArticleInterpretation of comparative Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) results can be challenging in the presence of uncertainty. To aid in interpreting such results under the goal of any comparative LCA, we aim to provide guidance to ... -
Quantifying greenhouse gas emissions from global aquaculture
(2020)Type: Journal ArticleGlobal aquaculture makes an important contribution to food security directly (by increasing food availability and accessibility) and indirectly (as a driver of economic development). In order to enable sustainable expansion ... -
Quantifying gregarine infestation of Penaeus vannamei on a commercial shrimp farm and some attempts at treatment
(1994)Type: Journal ArticleThe gregarine (Nematopsis spp.) infestation in Penaeus vannamei on a commercial shrimp pond is discussed focusing on quantifying the parasites and some attempts to control infestation. -
Quantifying the genetic parameters of feed efficiency in juvenile Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus
(2018)Type: Journal ArticleImproving feed efficiency in fish is crucial at the economic, social and environmental levels with respect to developing a more sustainable aquaculture. The important contribution of genetic improvement to achieve this ... -
Quantitative analysis of published data on the growth, metabolism, food consumption, and related features of the red-bellied piranha, Serrasalmus nattereri (Characidae)
(1994)Type: Journal ArticleA tentative set of growth parameters of the von Bertalanffy growth equation were estimated for the red-bellied piranha, Serrasalmus nattereri, a common characid of the Amazonas and adjacent floodplains, based on length-frequency ... -
