Autogenous vaccination in aquaculture: A locally enabled solution towards reduction of the global antimicrobial resistance problem
Type: Journal Article
Antimicrobial resistance is a global public health crisis with attention focussed on food supply as part of the ‘One Health’ integration of veterinary, environmental and public health. Aquaculture has been the fastest ...
Development and validation of an open access SNP array for 2 Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis Niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
Tilapia are amongst the most important farmed fish species worldwide, and are fundamental for the food security of many developing countries. Several genetically improved Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) strains exist, ...
Genetic diversity of tilapia lake virus genome segment 1 from 2011 to 2019 and a newly validated semi-nested RT-PCR method
Type: Journal Article
The gene of RNA viruses, encoding RNA-directed RNA polymerase (RdRp) is relatively conserved due to its crucial function in viral genome replication and transcription making it a useful target for genetic diversity study ...
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 ...
“Essential non-essentials”: COVID-19 policy missteps in Nigeria rooted in persistent myths about African food supply chains
Type: Journal Article
Food supply chains are extremely important for food access and livelihoods across Africa, but their role is
often overlooked and underappreciated. Under normal conditions, the gap between myth and reality can result in the ...
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 ...
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 ...
Genome-wide association analysis of adaptation to oxygen stress in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
Background: Tilapia is one of the most abundant species in aquaculture. Hypoxia is known to depress growth rate, but the genetic mechanism by which this occurs is unknown. In this study, two groups consisting of 3140 fish ...
Valuing small fish from mosquito nets: A comment on Jones & Unsworth (2019)
Type: Journal Article
A critique of a paper in Ambio that labels the capture of small fish as unsustainable without adequate consideration of the dynamics of fish populations.
A systematic literature review of the major factors causing yield gap by affecting growth, feed conversion ratio and survival in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
Productivity among small‐ and medium‐scale tilapia farms varies considerably. The difference between the best performers and lower ones (yield gap), is affected by differences in growth rate and feed conversion ratio (FCR). ...
