Controlling preharvest maturity in farmed Arctic char: A review from the Canadian perspective
Type: Journal Article
Arctic char, Salvelinus alpinus L. is a promising candidate for aquaculture expansion in Northern Europe, Canada, and the United States because of its excellent growth at low temperature, tolerance to high rearing density, ...
Fish, roots, tubers and bananas: opportunities and constraints for agri-food system integration
Type: Journal Article
Agri-food system integration has the potential to increase and add value to agricultural production, reduce cost of and dependency on external inputs, generate additional income to farmers, and encourage the diversification ...
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 ...
Apparent digestibility coefficients of local palm kernel cakes, rice bran, maize bran and sago flour in the GIFT strain of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
An experiment was conducted to estimate the apparent digestibility coefficients (ADC) of macronutrients and energy of local palm kernel cakes, rice bran, maize bran and sago flour available in tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus ...
Nitrogen retention, nutrient digestibility and growth efficiency of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fed dietary lysine and reared in fertilized ponds
Type: Journal Article
Two diets were formulated, a low lysine (LowL) and a balanced lysine diet (BalL), containing 9.10 and 13.10 g lysine kg−1 feed, respectively. Twenty fish (30.2 ± 1.9 g) per tank were stocked in 110-L tanks, mounted in a ...

Type: Journal Article
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of fishmeal (FM) replacement with corn protein concentrate (CPC) on growth performance, nutrient utilization, gut morphology and skin coloration of red hybrid tilapia, ...
On-farm participatory evaluation of feeding approaches used by farmers for tilapia (Oreochromis macrochir) production in northern Zambia
Type: Journal Article
This paper reports the first benchmarking of smallholder tilapia farming practices in rural northern Zambia, measuring fish growth, feed utilization and water quality parameters, using a participatory action research ...
