Is tilapia mortality a latent concern for the aquaculture sector of Bangladesh? An epidemiology and health economic impact study
Type: Journal Article
Tilapia are the 3rd most cultured aquaculture species in global aquaculture, produced in over 170 countries. Bangladesh is the world's fourth-largest tilapia producer and yet only few studies have been conducted to understand ...
How did the COVID-19 pandemic affect food environment, food purchase, and fish consumption among low-income urban households in Bangladesh—A path analysis
Type: Journal Article
Background: Animal source foods, especially fish is the most commonly consumed and an important source of macro and micronutrients in the diet of the urban low-income residents. The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the food ...
Genotype-by-culture-system interaction in catla and silver carp: Monoculture and biculture
Type: Journal Article
Catla (Catla catla) and silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) are globally significant aquaculture species, primarily grown in polyculture. The objectives of the current study were to i) quantify genetic differences ...
Antibiotics usage practices in aquaculture in Bangladesh and their associated factors
Type: Journal Article
Background: Irrational and inappropriate use of antibiotics in aquaculture can contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance.
Objectives: In this study, we aimed to assess antibiotic usage in inland and coastal ...
Understanding the economic and farming practices driving species selection in aquaculture within the Mymensingh division of Bangladesh
Type: Journal Article
Aquaculture is a major supplier of animal protein for Bangladesh’s population, and the Mymensingh division is a major contributor to finfish aquaculture, producing 43% of the total pond pangasius and 9% of the total amount ...
Sustainability impacts of ecosystem approaches to small-scale aquaculture in Bangladesh
Type: Journal Article
This study explores the sustainability impacts of adopting an ecosystem approach in underutilized homestead ponds (ecoponds) operated by women in Bangladesh. Households with ecoponds have significantly higher fish productivity, ...
On-farm performance of genetically-improved rohu (Labeo rohita) in Bangladesh
Type: Journal Article
Introduction: Rohu (Labeo rohita Hamilton) is a globally significant aquaculture species for which genetically improved strains are increasingly available. In 2020, a multiplier population, comprised of highly–ranked ...
Tilapia Lake Virus was not detected in non-tilapine species within tilapia polyculture systems of Bangladesh
Type: Journal Article
Sixteen countries, including Bangladesh, have reported the presence of tilapia lake virus (TiLV), an emerging tilapia pathogen. Fish polyculture is a common farming practice in Bangladesh. Some unusual mortalities reported ...
Early selection to enhance genetic gain in a rohu (Labeo rohita) genetic improvement program
Type: Journal Article
Multiple-stage selection can, in certain circumstances, be adopted to enhance genetic gain in genetic improvement programs while avoiding the cost of assessing and maintaining all individuals for extended periods. The ...
Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) trait preferences by women and men farmers in Jessore and Mymensingh districts of Bangladesh
Type: Journal Article
Research reporting user trait preferences for fish, particularly in relation to guiding genetic improvement programs are rare, even in tilapia where demand for genetically improved fish has underpinned the expansion of ...
