Reassortment and evolutionary dynamics of tilapia lake virus genomic segments
Type: Journal Article
The tilapia lake virus (TiLV), a highly infectious negative-sense single-stranded segmented RNA virus, has caused several outbreaks worldwide since its first report from Israel in 2014, and continues to pose a major threat ...
Environmental justice in coastal systems: Perspectives from communities confronting change
Type: Journal Article
Life in the Pacific is characterised by interconnected, fast and slow socio-ecological change. These changes inevitably involve navigating questions of justice, as they shift who benefits from, owns, and governs resources, ...
Impacts of COVID-19 on Myanmar’s chicken and egg sector, with implications for the sustainable development goals
Type: Journal Article
Chicken and eggs make important contributions to the food and nutrition security of low-income households in Myanmar, making it important to understand the impacts of COVID-19 on Myanmar’s poultry sector. First, we evaluate ...
Replacing fishmeal with a single cell protein feedstuff in Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus diets
Type: Journal Article
There is a growing concern about the use of fisheries-derived proteins in aquaculture. This study
was conducted to investigate the effect of either partially or totally replacing fishmeal (up to 15%
of the diet) by the ...
Are consumers in developing countries willing to pay for aquaculture food safety certification? Evidence from a field experiment in Nigeria
Type: Journal Article
Many developing countries face challenges in managing food safety risks associated with consumption of animal-source foods. Efforts to address these challenges increasingly recognize the role of certification in agri-food ...
An investigation of links between metabolic rate and feed efficiency in European sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax
Type: Journal Article
Feed efficiency (FE) is the amount of body weight gain for a given feed intake. Improving FE through selective breeding is key for sustainable finfish aquaculture but its evaluation at individual level is technically ...
Emerging COVID-19 impacts, responses, and lessons for building resilience in the seafood system
Type: Journal Article
The COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns are creating health and economic crises that threaten food and nutrition security. The seafood sector provides important sources of nutrition and employment, especially in ...
Spatial and temporal patterns of consumption of animal-source foods in Tanzania

Animal-source foods (ASF) are an important source of nutrients in many developing countries. However, there is limited information on the demand for ASF and the factors influencing their consumption. This study assessed ...
Growth performance of three strains of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) on four different feeds in Western and Central Kenya
Type: Journal Article
The growth performance of three commercially available strains of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fed one of four different commercially available feeds during nursery and grow-out was assessed in Kenya. Each of the ...
Rapid genotyping of tilapia lake virus (TiLV) using Nanopore sequencing
Type: Journal Article
Infectious diseases represent one of the major challenges to sustainable aquaculture production. Rapid, accurate diagnosis and genotyping of emerging pathogens during early-suspected disease cases is critical to facilitate ...
