Pipette and paper: Combining molecular and genealogical methods to assess a Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) breeding program
Type: Journal Article
The paper compared molecular and paper records of pedigrees in a Nile tilapia breeding program, the Abbassa line in Egypt. It established a novel pipeline of checks and balances based on molecular data to correct erroneous ...
Quantifying greenhouse gas emissions from global aquaculture
Type: Journal Article
Global 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 ...
Performance of Oreochromis niloticus and Oreochromis andersonii in controlled laboratory conditions in Zambia
Type: Journal Article
In the present study, two hatchery strains of Oreochromis niloticus and two of O. andersonii sourced from different hatcheries in Zambia were subjected to the same feeding and management regimes in a controlled indoor tank ...
A 12-point checklist for surveillance of diseases of aquatic organisms: a novel approach to assist multidisciplinary teams in developing countries
Type: Journal Article
A 12-point checklist in the design and practical application of active surveillanceof diseases in aquatic organisms (farmed and wild) has been developed to serve asa methodological approach and guidance for a multidisciplinary ...
Gender-based market constraints to informal fish retailing: Evidence from analysis of variance and linear regression
Type: Journal Article
Over the last decade, Egypt's aquaculture sector has expanded rapidly, which has contributed substantially to per capita fish supply, and the growth of domestic fish markets and employment across the aquaculture value ...
Genetic parameters for resistance to Tilapia Lake Virus (TiLV) in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
Tilapia Lake Virus (TiLV) is one of the primary disease concerns for tilapia farming, with mass mortality events and biosecurity restrictions threating aquaculture in several continents. Selective breeding for improved ...
Implementing aquaculture technology and innovation platforms in Asia
Type: Journal Article
EURASTIP translated tech and innovation platforms from Europe to Asia. We examine how translation affects form and function of these platforms. We find translation process of is non-linear and pluriform. We reveal 6 design ...
On-farm participatory evaluation of feeding approaches used by farmers for tilapia (Oreochromis macrochir) production in northern Zambia
Type: Journal Article
This paper reports the first benchmarking of smallholder tilapia farming practices in rural northern Zambia, measuring fish growth, feed utilization and water quality parameters, using a participatory action research ...
Fish in Sustainable Food Systems of the 21st Century: Role of WorldFish Research on Food and Nutrition Security, Gender Equity, and Natural Resource Conservation
Type: Journal Article
Fisheries research and development challenges have diversified significantly as we entered the 21st century. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development demands that agriculture research communities take more holistic ...
Distinguishing between Nile tilapia strains using a low-density single-nucleotide polymorphism panel
Type: Journal Article
Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is among the most important finfish in aquaculture, particularly in Asia. Numerous genetically improved strains of Nile tilapia have been developed and disseminated through formal and ...
