Type: Journal Article
This paper reviews the literature assessing fish waste and loss in low- and middle-income countries. We find significant variation in estimates of loss in different parts of the value chain, due in part to the diversity ...
Rapid visualization in the specific detection of Flavobacterium columnare, a causative agent of freshwater columnaris using a novel recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) combined with lateral flow dipstick (LFD) assay
Type: Journal Article
Flavobacterium columnare is the causative agent of columnaris, a serious disease affecting numerous freshwater fish species worldwide. Although several molecular protocols have been established to detect this pathogen, ...
Variations in isotope incorporation rates and trophic discrimination factors of carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes in scales from three European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) populations
Type: Journal Article
Carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) stable isotope analyses are used in marine ecology to study trophic relationships and migrations of species since they reflect dietary sources consumed which may vary geographically. ...
Fish, roots, tubers and bananas: opportunities and constraints for agri-food system integration
Type: Journal Article
Agri-food system integration has the potential to increase and add value to agricultural production, reduce cost of and dependency on external inputs, generate additional income to farmers, and encourage the diversification ...
Rice field fisheries: wild aquatic species diversity, food provision services and contribution to inland fisheries

Cambodia's rice field fisheries contribute to national fisheries production and fish consumption in farming-fishing households. As irrigation development is underway to expand the (currently 17%) rice field area irrigated, ...
Maintaining diversity of integrated rice and fish production confers adaptability of food systems to global change
Type: Journal Article
Rice and fish are preferred foods, critical for healthy and nutritious diets, and provide the foundations of local and national economies across Asia. Although transformations, or “revolutions,” in agriculture and aquaculture ...
Nutrient composition of demersal, pelagic, and mesopelagic fish species sampled off the coast of Bangladesh and their potential contribution to food and nutrition security - The EAF Nansen Programme
Type: Journal Article
Fish is a major part of the Bangladeshi diet supplying several essential micronutrients vital for food and nutrition security, but additional data on the nutrient composition of marine fish species is required. Mesopelagic ...
Nutrient composition of 19 fish species from Sri Lanka and potential contribution to food and nutrition security
Type: Journal Article
Sri Lanka is a country with several pressing nutritional issues, such as high wasting rates, micronutrient deficiencies, and non-communicable diseases. Fish is an important part of the Sri Lankan diet, and represent a rich ...
