Measurement of haem and total iron in fish, shrimp and prawn using ICP-MS: Implications for dietary iron intake calculations
Type: Journal Article
Twenty-five species of fish, shrimp and prawn from local markets in Bangladesh were analysed for concentrations of total Fe, haem Fe and non-haem Fe by ICP-MS. Total Fe and non-haem Fe concentrations were measured in nitric ...
Spatial Linear Approximate to Almost Ideal Demand System
Type: Journal Article
The paper introduces two spatial systems of demand equation models that are variants of the Linear Approximate to Almost Ideal Demand Systems (LA/AIDS) with habit formation. Specifically, the first model incorporates spatial ...
Population dynamics of Nemipterus japonicus from the northern Arabian Sea, Pakistan
Type: Journal Article
Catch-per-effort and length-frequency data on threadfin bream Nemipterus japonicus (Nemipteridae) supplied by the staff of the R/V Dr. Fridtjof Nansen, covering the period September 1983 to June 1984, were analyzed using ...
2030 Research and Innovation Strategy: Aquatic Foods for Healthy People and Planet
Type: Internal Report
The WorldFish Research and Innovation Strategy 2020-2030: Aquatic Foods for Healthy People and Planet charts a decade-long aquatic foods agenda toward sustainable and equitable global food systems. The strategy sets ...
A simple method for estimating the food consumption of fish populations from growth data and food conversion experiments
Type: Journal Article
A multiple-regression extension of the basic model is presented which accounts for the impact of factors other than body weight on values of K1 and p. This method is illustrated with an analysis of data on dab (Limanda limianda).
Growth and survival of olive barb, Puntius sarana (Hamilton 1822) larvae produced with cryopreserved versus fresh sperm
Type: Journal Article
Despite the success in fertilization and hatching of fish eggs with cryopreserved sperm, report on growth and survival of larvae produced from frozen-thawed sperm is inadequate. This study evaluates the applicability of ...
Effect of freshwater toxic and non toxic cyanobacteria, (Microcystis aeruginosa) strains on some biochemical parameters of Oreochromis niloticus
Type: Journal Article
This study was planned to determine the grazing rate of O. niloticus from both toxic and non toxic strains of Microcystis aeruginosa with its effect on fish health through study of some clinical signs, hematological and ...
Studies on the population dynamics of Pellonula leonensis (Clupeidae) in the Cross River, Nigeria
Type: Journal Article
Based on length-frequency distributions and mean annual water temperature, growth and mortality parameter estimates, as well as spawning pattern of Pellonula leonensis (Clupeidae) occurring in the Cross River (Nigeria) ...
Length-converted catch curves: a powerful tool for fisheries research in the Tropics (III: conclusion)
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.
Fish in food systems in Nigeria: A review
Type: Report
In Nigeria, like many coastal developing countries, fish is an important source of food for the population, which is currently estimated at 186 million people (World Bank 2016). A recent study estimated that Nigeria ranks ...
