Concepts, alternatives, and environmental considerations in the development and use of improved strains of tilapia in African aquaculture
Type: Journal Article
The status of African populations of farmed tilapia is reviewed and discussed in light of the need for improved strains for commercial aquaculture. Many tilapia populations currently held on African fish farms have been ...
Perspectives from Agriculture: Advances in livestock breeding-Implications for aquaculture genetics
Type: Journal Article
In this paper we present livestock breeding developments that could be taken into consideration in the genetic improvement of farmed aquaculture species, especially in freshwater fish. Firstly, the current breeding objective ...
Stock evaluation and development of a breeding program for common carp (Cyprinus carpio) in Karnataka, India: progress of a research project
Type: Journal Article
Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) is the single most important species for aquaculture in the state of Karnataka, India, where it is generally grown in polyculture with Indian major carps. Precocious maturation and unwanted ...
Involvement of rural women in aquaculture: an innovative approach
Type: Journal Article
Although women have proved to be competent in adopting new aquaculture technologies, their role is very much restricted and often ignored. One of the major reasons is the location of aquaculture sites and several sociocultural ...
Effects of relatedness and inbreeding on reproductive success of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
It is well established that progeny of inbred matings are less fit than those of outbred matings, and that inbred individuals suffer from reduced viability and fertility. Inbreeding can be avoided by dispersal of progeny ...
Restocking and stock enhancement of coastal fisheries: Potential, problems and progress
Type: Journal Article
The demand for fish is expected to rise substantially by 2020. Although aquaculture must provide much of the additional fish, it remains to be seen whether restored or enhanced capture fisheries can also help fill the ...
Management of broodstock and quality control of fish seed in Hungary
Type: Journal Article
Common carp (Cyprinus carpio) breeding has a long tradition in Hungary. However, recent economic changes in Eastern Europe and new developments in aquaculture necessitated the need for ensuring quality of the brood stock ...
Evaluation of the carcass and commercial characteristics of carps
Type: Journal Article
The role of carcass evaluation techniques in aquaculture research programs, especially in genetics, breeding, production management, feeding and nutrition, cannot be overemphasized. Knowledge of production efficiencies and ...

The article is based on an ongoing collaboration in Vietnam between the WorldFish Center (formerly ICLARM) and the Ministry of Fisheries, at the Research Institute for Aquaculture No. 3, Nha Trang City, Khanh Hoa Province. ...
Genetic diversity in wild stocks of the giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii): implications for aquaculture and conservation
Type: Journal Article
The giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) is cultured widely around the world but little is known about the levels and patterns of genetic diversity in either wild or cultured stocks. Studies have suggested ...
