Selection of small indigenous fish for breeding trials in the states of Assam and Odisha in India
Type: Report
Farming SIS has great potential to increase their availability in the market and make them more accessible
to consumers but scaling up production of cultured SIS will require the development of new captive
breeding techniques. ...
Review of aquaculture and fish consumption in Bangladesh
Type: Working Paper
Fish play a crucial role in the Bangladeshi diet, providing more than 60% of animal source food, representing a crucial source of micro-nutrients, and possessing an extremely strong cultural attachment. Fish (including ...
Cracking the code of hatchery-based mass production of mola (Amblypharyngodon mola) seed for nutrition-sensitive aquaculture
Type: Journal Article
Introduction: Small indigenous fish species (SIS) can be particularly rich in micronutrients and make a crucial contribution toward improving human nutrition. The introduction of mola (Amblypharyngodon mola), an SIS, which ...
Labour, identity and wellbeing in Bangladesh's dried fish value chains
Type: Book Chapter
Dried fish products play an important role in the diets of fish consumers and in the livelihoods of actors in fisheries value chains throughout Africa and Asia. In Bangladesh, a large proportion of marine and freshwater ...
COVID-19 impacts and adaptations in Asia and Africa’s aquatic food value chains
Type: Journal Article
The COVID-19 pandemic is a shock affecting all areas of the global food system. We tracked the impacts of COVID-19 and associated policy responses on the availability and price of aquatic foods and production inputs during ...
Guidelines for setting up breeding experiments for small indigenous species (SIS)
Type: Report
This report describes in detail steps and considerations in the design of hatchery-based breeding trials
for small indigenous fish species (SIS) native to South Asia. The aim of the trials is to develop to replicable
protocols ...
Integrated aquatic and terrestrial food production enhances micronutrient and economic productivity for nutrition-sensitive food systems
Type: Journal Article
Integrated aquaculture–agriculture (IAA) is a form of crop diversification where aquatic and terrestrial foods are grown together on a single parcel of land. We compare economic and nutrient productivity per hectare for ...
Current state of knowledge on induced breeding of nutrient-rich small indigenous fish species
Type: Internal Report
This report aims to assess the current understanding of induced breeding techniques for specific
nutrient-dense SIS while also identifying crucial gaps in knowledge to address. The species selected for
evaluation were ...
COVID-19 impacts and adaptations in Asia and Africa’s aquatic food value chains
Type: Working Paper
We tracked the impacts of COVID-19 on aquatic food value chains in Bangladesh, Egypt, India, Myanmar and Nigeria during 2020. We assessed the availability and price of aquatic foods and production inputs using a high ...
Unlocking the technology for mola (Amblypharyngodon mola) mass production hastens nutrition-sensitive aquaculture in India
Type: Journal Article
Despite advances in health services, undernutrition remains one of the major public health issues in India. The recent National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5) highlighted pervasive malnutrition among children and women in ...
