A comparison of communal and separate rearing of families in selective breeding of common carp (Cyprinus carpio): Responses to selection
Type: Journal Article
The genetic response in growth traits in a selection program for increased harvest weight in a common carp population in Vietnam is reported. A base population (G0) was established from six carp stocks using single pair ...
To cluster or not to cluster farmers? Influences on network interactions, risk perceptions, and adoption of aquaculture practices
Type: Journal Article
Over the course of just a few years, shrimp farming has become a major aquaculture production system in coastal areas of several developing countries across the globe. However, farmers are facing a variety of risks related ...
Integration of crustacean aquaculture with coastal rice farming in Vietnam
