Relationships between pond water and tilapia skin microbiomes in aquaculture ponds in Malawi
Type: Journal Article
Intensification of fish farming practices is being driven by the demand for increased food production to support a rapidly growing global human population, particularly in lower-middle income countries. Intensification of ...
Key risk factors, farming practices and economic losses associated with tilapia mortality in Egypt
Type: Journal Article
Egypt is the topmost aquaculture producer in Africa and the third largest tilapia producer globally. Nile tilapia in particular is the cornerstone of fish farming in Egypt. Recently, fish farms have experienced unusual ...
Tilapia Lake Virus was not detected in non-tilapine species within tilapia polyculture systems of Bangladesh
Type: Journal Article
Sixteen countries, including Bangladesh, have reported the presence of tilapia lake virus (TiLV), an emerging tilapia pathogen. Fish polyculture is a common farming practice in Bangladesh. Some unusual mortalities reported ...
A multiplexed RT‑PCR assay for nanopore whole genome sequencing of Tilapia lake virus (TiLV)
Type: Journal Article
Tilapia lake virus (TiLV) is a highly contagious viral pathogen that affects tilapia, a globally significant and affordable source of fish protein. To prevent the introduction and spread of TiLV and its impact, there is ...
Vulnerabilities in aquatic animal production
Type: Journal Article
The role of aquatic animals in global food and nutrition security is increasingly recognised. The global demand for fish is increasing, leading to a need to significantly increase its supply. Securing future fish supplies ...
Genetic characterization and antimicrobial profiling of bacterial isolates collected from Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) affected by summer mortality syndrome
Type: Journal Article
In recent years, Egyptian tilapia aquaculture has experienced mortality episodes during the summer months. The causative agents responsible for such mortalities have not been clearly identified. A total of 400 fish specimens ...
Genetic correlations between harvest weight and secondary traits in a silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) genetic improvement program
Type: Journal Article
In 2017, the base population of a family-based silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) genetic improvement program was spawned in Bangladesh. This program aims to improve the growth rate of silver carp under polyculture ...
Two-year surveillance of tilapia lake virus (TiLV) reveals its wide circulation in tilapia farms and hatcheries from multiple districts of Bangladesh
Type: Journal Article
Tilapia lake virus (TiLV) is an emerging pathogen in aquaculture, reportedly affecting farmed tilapia in 16 countries across multiple continents. Following an early warning in 2017 that TiLV might be widespread, we executed ...
Understanding aquaculture biosecurity to improve catfish disease management in Ogun and Delta States, Nigeria
Type: Journal Article
Nigeria is one of Africa's largest aquaculture producers with catfish and tilapia being dominantly farmed. However, the lack of biosecurity and an unclear aquatic animal health strategy have resulted in substantial ...
Nanopore sequencing for identification and characterization of antimicrobial-resistant Escherichia coli and Salmonella spp. from tilapia and shrimp sold at wet markets in Dhaka, Bangladesh
Type: Journal Article
Wet markets in low-and middle-income countries are often reported to have inadequate sanitation resulting in fecal contamination of sold produce. Consumption of contaminated wet market-sourced foods has been linked to ...
