Polyculture of carps in integrated broiler-cum-fishfarming systems
Type: Book Chapter
A study was undertaken to determine fish species combinations that would result in optimum production levels in integrated broiler raising systems. Its objectives were: (i) to evaluate the production potential of fish in ...
Effect of transportation stress on hepatic glycogen of Oreochromis niloticus (L.)
Type: Journal Article
Oreochromis niloticus was subjected to transportation stress to investigate hepatic glycogen levels and mortality as indices of stress. Mortalities lasted up to three days after transportation, except in highly aerated ...
Integrating aquaculture with rice farming in Bangladesh: feasibility and economic viability, its adoption and impact
Type: Report
Studies were undertaken on 256 farms in Bangladesh from 1992-1994 to assess the feasibility and economic viability of integrating fish culture with rice farming during aman (wet) and boro (dry) seasons in medium highlands. ...

Type: Report
The GIFT Project is one of the longest multidisciplinary research and development program implemented by ICLARM and its partners. It began in March 1, 1988 and was successfully concluded in December 31, 1997. The ...
Dissemination and evaluation of genetic improved tilapia species in Asia (DEGITA): final report (January 1998)
Type: Report
The major objectives of the DEGITA ( Project (Dissemination and Evaluation of Genetically Improved Tilapia Species in Asia) were: 1) to carry out genetic, socio economic and environmental evaluation of the improved tilapia ...
Manual on genetic improvement of farmed tilapia (GIFT) research methodologies
Type: Manual
Gathering and recording of biological data vital to experiments in a genetic improvement program should be carried out with efficiency, precision and accuracy. This is important in order to avoid marking erroneous conclusion ...
Observations on gillnet catches of Kariba tilapia, Oreochromis mortimeri from Bumi Basin of Lake Kariba, Zimbabwe
Type: Journal Article
Gillnet catches of Oreochromis mortimeri (Trewavas) were studied in the Bumi Basin of Lake Kariba in 1988 and 1989. Total length (TL) was positively correlated with standard length (SL). The linear relationship between TL ...
Effect of fishpond input on pond mud nutrient levels in integrated crop-fish culture resource recycling
Type: Report
The success of aquaculture among small holder farmers in Malawi, depends on the use of the available on-farm resources. Commercial fish feeds are currently not available. Fish ponds open possibility for recycling of waste ...
Genetic improvement of farmed tilapias: growth performance in a complete diallel cross experiment with eight strains of Oreochromis niloticus
Type: Journal Article
A complete diallel cross experiment was carried out with eight strains of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The strains represented four wild populations collected from various locations in Africa and four populations ...
Integrated poultry-fish farming: a way to increase productivity benefits
Type: Book Chapter
The integration of aquaculture with poultry results in a more efficient use of resources than is possible with aquacul-ture farming alone. Other benefits of diversification include a reduction in the risk of total crop ...
