Inclusion of small indigenous fish improves nutritional quality during the first 1000 days
Type: Journal Article
Key contributing factors to undernutrition in low-income countries, including Bangladesh, are low dietary diversity in the diets of women and low nutrient density of traditional complementary foods (CFs) for infants and ...
A high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of rohu carp, Labeo rohita, and its utilization in SNP-based exploration of gene flow and sex determination
Type: Journal Article
Labeo rohita (rohu) is a carp important to aquaculture in South Asia, with a production volume close to Atlantic salmon. While genetic improvements to rohu are ongoing, the genomic methods commonly used in other aquaculture ...
Summary of length-frequency data for Philippine small pelagic fishes collected by the DA-BFAR/ICLARM Small Pelagics Management Project (Vols. I II)
Type: Report
The Small Pelagic Management project was established in the Philippines to conduct a review of Philippine small pelagic fisheries and to conduct stock assessment and economic analyses on these fisheries. Growth, mortality ...
The Role of Fish in the First 1,000 Days in Zambia
Type: Journal Article
Fish is especially rich in essential omega-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and micronutrients, including bioavailable calcium, iron and zinc. Fish features prominently in the diet of most, especially poor, Zambians. ...
Value chain analysis of the aquaculture feed sector in Egypt
Type: Journal Article
This study was carried out to evaluate the value chain performance of the aquaculture feed sector in Egypt, in terms of value addition, employment and profitability. The strengths and weaknesses of each link of the value ...
Fish and the nutrition of rural Cambodians
Type: Journal Article
In Cambodia, fish is a central source of food for the rural poor due to its abundance and availability, and contributes greatly to national food security. In this paper, we review how fish is a staple food, provides quality ...
Feed resources vis-à-vis livestock and fish productivity in a changing climate
Type: Book Chapter
Animal source food production globally already faces increasing pressure because of negative environmental implications, particularly because of greenhouse gas emissions. As livestock and aquaculture are important sources ...
Better management practices for tilapia culture in Egypt
Type: Manual
This work was undertaken as part of the CGIAR Research Program on Fish Agri-Food Systems (FISH) led by WorldFish. The program is supported by contributors to the CGIAR Trust Fund. FISH is developing the better management ...
A program for constructing length-converted growth curves when growth is seasonal
Type: Journal Article
Following Sparre's (1990) demonstration that length-converted catch curves overestimate total mortality when growth is seasonal, Pauly (1990) presented a method for constructing length-converted growth curves that allow ...
The Effects of feed restriction and isolated or group rearing on the measurement of individual feed intake and estimation of feed conversion ratio in juvenile Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) for selective breeding purposes
Type: Journal Article
Accurately measuring the phenotype at the individual level is critical to the success of selective breeding programs. Feed efficiency is a key sustainability trait and is typically approached through feed conversion ratio ...
