Menjelajahi masa depan perikanan budidaya Indonesia (Exploring Indonesian aquaculture futures)
Type: Report
Aquaculture is the fastest-growing food production sector globally, with production projected to double within the next 15-20 years. Future growth of aquaculture is essential to providing sustainable supplies of fish in ...
Boom and bust in Andhra Pradesh: Development and transformation in India's domestic aquaculture value chain
Type: Journal Article
India is the worlds second largest producer of farmed freshwater fish. The state of Andhra Pradesh (AP) is by far the most important producer of fish in India. Since the late 1970s, fish culture in AP has undergone a boom ...
WorldFish strategy 2017-2022
Type: Report
The WorldFish mission is to strengthen livelihoods and enhance food and nutrition security by improving fisheries and aquaculture. We pursue this through research partnerships focused on helping those who stand to benefit ...
Genetic parameters and correlated responses in female reproductive traits in the GIFT strain
Type: Journal Article
The aim of this study was to examine genetic variation in reproductive traits and to estimate correlated responses in such traits to selection for high growth rate in the GIFT strain of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus).
Genetic variance for uniformity of harvest weight in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
Competition for resources is common in aquaculture, which inflates the variability of fish body weight. Selective breeding is one of the effective approaches that may enable a reduction of size variability (or increase in ...
Aquaculture big numbers
Type: Report
This research project seeks to: provide baseline information on the present status of the aquaculture sector from a human development perspective; identify the types and numbers of people employed by the sector; and explore ...
The feasibility of milkfish (Chanos chanos) aquaculture in Solomon Islands
Type: Report
Fish is crucial to food and nutrition security in Solomon Islands, and demand is expected to increase due to a growing population. However, it is projected that current capture fisheries production will not meet this growing ...
Contribution of fisheries and aquaculture to food security and poverty reduction: Assessing the current evidence
Type: Journal Article
This paper evaluates the existing evidence of how and to what extent capture fisheries and aquaculture contribute to food security and poverty reduction. In doing so the authors evaluate the quality and scientific rigor ...
An assessment of chemical and biological product use in aquaculture in Bangladesh
Type: Journal Article
The aim of this study is to describe current chemical use practices in the aquaculture sector of Bangladesh and to identify the factors that influence them. A survey on the use of chemical and biological products was ...
Genetic and non-genetic indirect effects for harvest weight in the GIFT strain of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
The main objective of this study was to quantify the heritable variation for growth rate of GIFT, and the contribution of IGEs to this heritable variation. Here we describe the experiment conducted for this purpose, and ...
