Microsatellite loci for studies on population differentiation and connectivity of the red-bellied yellow tail fusilier, Caesio cuning (Caesionidae).
Type: Journal Article
Ten polymorphic microsatellites were isolated from the red-bellied yellow tail fusilier Caesio cuning, a reef-associated fish which occurs widely in the Indo-Pacific region. The species is exploited by both small-scale ...
Coping with disaster: rehabilitating coastal livelihoods and communities
Type: Journal Article
This paper examines lessons from past approaches to natural disasters, as well as early lessons from the post-2004 Asian tsunami rehabilitation, to draw out general principles for rehabilitating livelihoods in poor coastal ...
Fisheries and water productivity in tropical river basins: Enhancing food security and livelihoods by managing water for fish
Type: Journal Article
Faced with growing pressure upon freshwater resources, increased water productivity in agriculture is essential. Efforts to do so however need to consider the wider role of water in sustaining food production. This paper ...
Ontogenetic changes in colouration and morphology of white teatfish, Holothuria fuscogilva, juveniles at Kiribati
Type: Journal Article
Little is known of the appearance or ecology of white teatfish (Holothuria fuscogilva) juveniles, which are very rarely found in the wild. In this study we use juveniles cultured in Kiribati to describe their ontogenetic ...
Progress toward a global genealogy of common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) strains using mitochondrial nucleotide sequences data
Type: Journal Article
As part of a study of genetic variation in the Vietnamese strains of the common carp (Cyprinus carpio L.) using direct DNA sequencing of mitochondrial control and ATPase6/8 gene regions, samples from a number of other ...
A length-based multi-species model for evaluating community responses to fishing
Type: Journal Article
Quantitative ecosystem indicators are needed to fulfill the mandate for ecosystem-based fisheries management. A variety of community metrics could potentially be used, but before reference levels for such indices can be ...
Mating systems and male reproductive success in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus): a microsatelite analysis
Type: Journal Article
Fry production in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus is typically achieved by mass spawning of males and females stocked in large hapas suspended in ponds. In such spawning aggregations, territorial behavior and reproductive ...
Key issues in coastal fisheries South and Southeast Asia, outcomes of a regional initiative
Type: Journal Article
Asia is an important region in terms of fish trade supplying nearly 60% of global fish production. The region’s coastal fisheries play a critical role in ensuring food security and providing livelihoods, particularly for ...
Enhancing the productivity of small waterbodies
Type: Journal Article
Most small waterbodies were built for irrigation and/or drinking water storage for humans and livestock, but have also been shown to play an important role in watershed management. Apart from natural lakes, small waterbodies ...
On-farm trials with rice fish cultivation in the west Kano rice irrigation scheme, Kenya
Type: Journal Article
The viability of integrating rice farming with fish culture was studied in ten (10) rice plots. The onfarm research was done during one rice-growing season starting May 2003. The rice variety used was IR 2793-80-1 while ...
