Type: Journal Article
The omnivorous African sharptooth catfish is a valuable species suitable for culture by smallholder farmers in Cameroon. A five-year research project that brought farmers together with research interests established simple, ...
Phenotypic and genetic parameters for body measurements, reproductive traits and gut length of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) selected for growth in low-input earthen ponds
Type: Journal Article
In this study we present estimates of phenotypic and genetic parameters for body size measurements, reproductive traits, and gut length for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) selected for growth in fertilized earthen ...
Enhancing the resilience of inland fisheries and aquaculture systems to climate change
Type: Journal Article
Some of the most important inland fisheries in the World are found in semi-arid regions. Production systems and livelihoods in arid and semi-arid areas are at risk from future climate variability and change; their fisheries ...
Population dynamics of Lysmata Ensirostris in the Kutubdia channel of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh
Type: Journal Article
FiSAT (FAO ICLARM Stock Assessment Tools) programme was used to estimate population parameters of Lysmata ensirostris from length frequency data. The La (asymptotic length) and K (growth coefficient) were found to be 7.3 ...
Vulnerability of Cambodian water snakes: initial assessment of the impact of hunting at Tonle Sap Lake
Type: Journal Article
This paper documents the emergent snake ‘fishery’ occurring on Tonle Sap Lake where an estimated 6.9 million snakes (mostly homalopsids) are removed annually, representing the world’s largest exploitation of a single snake ...
Feckless and reckless or forbearing and resourceful? Looking behind the stereotypes of HIV and AIDS in "fishing communities"
Type: Journal Article
Over the last decade evidence has emerged suggesting that in many countries fisherfolk, as an occupational group, are at greater risk to HIV and AIDS than the general adult population. This high vulnerability has been ...
Genetic improvement of farmed tilapias: composition and genetic parameters of a synthetic base population of Oreochromis niloticus for selective breeding
Type: Journal Article
The present study is based on data recorded from fish of the third generation of the GIFT project (Genetic Improvement of Farmed Tilapias). The objective of the study was to compose a synthetic base population of Nile ...
Spillover of commercially valuable reef fishes from marine protected areas in Guam, Micronesia
Type: Journal Article
Does adult spillover (movement out of marine protected areas [MPAs]) of fish create a net export of fish biomass from MPAs to adjacent fished reefs? Biomass of five commercial reef fish species was estimated by visual ...
Diagnosis and management of small-scale fisheries in developing countries
Type: Journal Article
Small-scale fisheries (SSF) make important but undervalued contributions to the economies of some of the world’s poorest countries. They also provide much of the animal protein needed by societies in which food security ...
