African Aquaculture: Genetic Resource and Traditional Knowledge Access and Benefit Sharing Measures
Type: Journal Article
Genetic resources are the building blocks for aquaculture breeding programs, biotechnology and conservation. The Convention on Biological Diversity and the Nagoya Protocol are international frameworks for access and benefit ...
Understanding gendered trait preferences: Implications for client-responsive breeding programs
Type: Journal Article
Client-responsiveness is a foundation for effectiveness of public sector breeding programs in agriculture, aquaculture and livestock. However, there remains a considerable lack of clarity about what this means, specifically ...
CGIAR Research Program on Fish Agri-Food Systems: A synthesis
Type: Brief
The fish agri-food system connects supplies of fish and other aquatic foods through multiple pathways and scales to diverse consumers across the planet and is a key component of the global agri-food systems. Fish and other ...
Fish breeding and genetics for improved productivity, profitability and sustainability of small-scale farms
Type: Brief
Faster growing tilapia strains demonstrate continued increase in growth rate in genetic improvement programs and superior profitability for farmers in Africa and South Asia, with reduced environmental impact.
New genetic ...
