CGIAR Research Program on Livestock and Fish
Type: Brief
In the developing world, more than 1 billion people depend on fish for most of their animal protein, and another 1 billion people depend on livestock. Poor people, especially women and children, typically eat very little ...
Predicting self-recruitment in marine populations: biophysical correlates and mechanisms
Type: Journal Article
Mounting evidence suggests that some populations of benthic marine organisms may be less demographically ‘open’ than previously thought. The degree to which a population receives recruits from local sources versus other ...
Length-converted catch curves: a powerful tool for fisheries research in the Tropics (part 2)
Type: Journal Article
A method is described for the determination of the selection curve of fishing gear from the shape of the ascending arm of a length-converted catch curve and growth parameters.
What WorldFish does in Malaita Province
Type: Brochure
Malaita is known as the most populous province of the Solomon Islands, with high outputs of agricultural produce from its land and significant populations of ‘sea people’ highly reliant on coastal ecosystems for food and ...

Inclusion of small indigenous fish improves nutritional quality during the first 1000 days
Type: Journal Article
Key contributing factors to undernutrition in low-income countries, including Bangladesh, are low dietary diversity in the diets of women and low nutrient density of traditional complementary foods (CFs) for infants and ...
Fish and the nutrition of rural Cambodians
Type: Journal Article
In Cambodia, fish is a central source of food for the rural poor due to its abundance and availability, and contributes greatly to national food security. In this paper, we review how fish is a staple food, provides quality ...
A program for constructing length-converted growth curves when growth is seasonal
Type: Journal Article
Following Sparre's (1990) demonstration that length-converted catch curves overestimate total mortality when growth is seasonal, Pauly (1990) presented a method for constructing length-converted growth curves that allow ...
Time recovery for exploited fish populations based on surplus yield models
Type: Journal Article
A new method to estimate the time recovery of exploited population based on M.B. Schaefer's theory is proposed. The parameters used as follows: current population size (alphaP sub( infinity )'), target population level ...
Impact of tannery effluents on the aquatic environment of the Buriganga River in Dhaka, Bangladesh
Type: Journal Article
This study presents an overview of the existence and effects of six heavy metals, chromium (Cr), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), manganese (Mn), and aluminum (Al), in tannery effluents released to the Buriganga River ...
