Fifty years of reservoir fisheries in Mettur Dam, India: some lessons
Type: Journal Article
The paper outlines briefly the history of the fishery in a dam reservoir in India. The reservoir was very productive in its early years, with support from a seed farm, ice plant, cold storage and regulated entry of fishery. ...
Making experiment station results more useful to African fish farmers
Type: Journal Article
Rather than using more or less ideal conditions for setting experimental controls, the use of conditions similar to those likely to be encountered by farmers should produce research results which are realistically achievable ...
The evolution of body muscle composition of the African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) (Burchell 1822)
Type: Journal Article
Changes in body muscle composition of Clarias gariepinus were studied in fish reared from 1.08 g to 383 g mean body weight in a 201-day culture period. Changes in the amount of protein content, dry matter and ash free dry ...
Mangrove rehabilitation and coastal resource management: a case study of Cogtong Bay, Philippines
Type: Journal Article
The Cogtong Bay experience represents a bold attempt to pursue a shared responsibility between the government and local residents for rehabilitating coastal resources. Some of the factors that provided the impetus to ...
Can nitrogen pollution from aquaculture be reduced?
Type: Journal Article
Nitrogen is essential for the normal growth of fish. It is an important ingredient in fish feed but is very expensive. There is evidence that nitrogen loading from feeding and metabolic activities of fish can cause pollution ...
Fisheries co-management and transaction costs
Type: Journal Article
Fisheries co-management is increasingly seen as a solution to the problems of resource use conflicts and overexploitation. The importance of transactions costs may not have been given adequate attention. The transaction ...
Changes in models of aquatic ecosystems approaching carrying capacity
Type: Journal Article
Using a top-down modeling approach, published mass-balance models of trophic interactions and state variables in the western central Pacific Ocean and the northern Gulf of Mexico shelf were used to explore how large increases ...
Predicting food consumption of fish populations as functions of mortality, food type, morphometrics, temperature and salinity
Type: Journal Article
A large data set of relative food-consumption estimates (Q/B) of marine and freshwater fish populations (n = 108 populations, 38 species) is documented and used to derive a predictive model for Q/B, using asymptotic weight, ...
Transgene expressions in seabass (Lates calcarifer) following muscular injection of plasmid DNA: a strategy for vaccine development?
Type: Journal Article
Muscular injection has become one of the direct methods for transferring foreign DNA into organisms. The technique has been recently introduced in the development of vaccines and gene therapy. Vaccine development, in ...
Detachment and grading of the tropical sea cucumber sandfish, Holothuria scabra, juveniles from settlement substrates
Type: Journal Article
The International Centre for Living Aquatic Resources Management (ICLARM) in the Solomon Islands has a 5-year project to develop methods for mass rearing of tropical sea cucumbers for the purpose of enhancing wild stocks ...
