Aquaculture is predicted to play a major and ever increasing role in meeting human needs for protein. In terrestrial animal and plant species genetic improvement programs have made a substantial contribution to productivity ...

To inform decisions on improving the yields of African catfish Clarias gariepinus fingerlings in earthen ponds, the hypothesis that composts and leaks were partly responsible for usually low and variable fry survivals was ...

In an attempt to improve the stocking size and yield of Clarias gariepinus, small fingerlings (average weight=3 g) of the type usually produced by African hatcheries were stocked together with tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) ...

In this review, the author provides an overview of the small water bodies as an important inland fishery resource and analyses the global trends in their utilization. He also assesses the opportunities for enhancing fish ...

To estimate the relative importance of the most common predators of Clarias gariepinus fry, increasing levels of protection were afforded to exclude amphibians, aquatic arthropods and birds. At a stocking density of 10 ...

We provide a review of the assemblage structure of demersal fish resources in four South and Southeast Asian countries. Multivariate techniques (classification and ordination analysis) were used to analyze scientific trawl ...

Little is known of the appearance or ecology of white teatfish (Holothuria fuscogilva) juveniles, which are very rarely found in the wild. In this study we use juveniles cultured in Kiribati to describe their ontogenetic ...
