Engaging the private sector to address conflict in natural resource management
Type: Brief
International investments in agroindustry present a growing source of tension for local populations who rely on land, forests, water and fisheries for their livelihoods, particularly where local tenure security is put at ...
WorldFish strategy 2017-2022
Type: Report
The WorldFish mission is to strengthen livelihoods and enhance food and nutrition security by improving fisheries and aquaculture. We pursue this through research partnerships focused on helping those who stand to benefit ...
What shapes food value chains? Lessons from aquaculture in Asia
Type: Journal Article
In this article, the authors explain what shapes food value chains through the analysis of selected aquaculture industries in four key Asian producing countries. Worldwide production of aquatic resources has grown rapidly ...
Why antimicrobial resistance in aquaculture systems matters for the One Health approach
Type: Poster
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria change and become resistant to antibiotics used to treat the infections they cause. The interconnected nature of agri-food systems means that AMR can spread, posing a ...
Uganda aquaculture value chains: strategic planning mission: summary report
Type: Report
This report presents the findings and recommendations of a strategic planning mission to reevaluate the feasibility of WorldFish implementing a fish value chain research program in Uganda under the CGIAR Research Program ...
Indirect genetic effects and inbreeding: Consequences of BLUP selection for socially affected traits on rate of inbreeding
Type: Journal Article
Social interactions often occur among living organisms, including aquatic animals. There is empirical evidence showing that social interactions may genetically affect phenotypes of individuals and their group mates. In ...
Genetic parameters and correlated responses in female reproductive traits in the GIFT strain
Type: Journal Article
The aim of this study was to examine genetic variation in reproductive traits and to estimate correlated responses in such traits to selection for high growth rate in the GIFT strain of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus).
Benefits and challenges of applying outcome mapping in an R4D project
Type: Working Paper
The Community-based Fish Culture in Seasonal Floodplains and Irrigation Systems (CBFC) project is a five year research project supported by the Challenge Program on Water and Food (CPWF), with the aim of increasing ...
Baseline survey final report: Aquaculture for income and nutrition project
Type: Report
The World Fish Center, in collaboration with the GOB and USAID, has been implementing the FtF Aquaculture Project since October 2011 with a view to meet the government and FtF goals to sustainably reduce poverty and ...
Genetic variance for uniformity of harvest weight in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
Competition for resources is common in aquaculture, which inflates the variability of fish body weight. Selective breeding is one of the effective approaches that may enable a reduction of size variability (or increase in ...
