Reconceptualising adaptation to climate change as part of pathways of change and response
(2014)Type: Journal ArticleThe need to adapt to climate change is now widely recognised as evidence of its impacts on social and natural systems grows and greenhouse gas emissions continue unabated. Yet efforts to adapt to climate change, as reported ... -
Climate-smart house: Housing that is cyclone resistant and food, energy and water efficient in Bangladesh
(2015)Type: BriefSince cyclones Sidr (2007) and Aila (2009), communities in southern Bangladesh have increasingly needed to protect their homes and livelihoods from destructive natural disasters. WorldFish embarked on a climate-resilient ... -
PmPPAF is a pro-phenoloxidase activating factor involved in innate immunity response of the shrimp Penaeus monodon
(2014)Type: Journal ArticleOne of the major steps in the innate immune response of shrimp includes the activation of serine proteinases of the pro-phenoloxidase pathway by the prophenoloxidase activation enzyme (PPAF). In this study, the cDNA encoding ... -

(2015)Type: Journal ArticleThe present study examined the variation in survival, proportion of male morphotypes, female and male proportion, female reproductive status and tag losses in nine crosses from a complete (3 × 3) diallel mating of three ... -
Flesh characteristics: estimation of genetic parameters and correlated responses to selection for growth rate in the GIFT strain
(2014)Type: Journal ArticleGenetically improved farmed tilapia (GIFT) has undergone ten generations of selection for harvest body weight in Malaysia, but there have been no reports on genetic parameters for flesh characteristics for this strain. In ... -
Review of the history, status and prospects of the black tiger shrimp (Penaeus monodon) hatchery sector in Bangladesh
(2016)Type: Journal ArticleCulture of shrimp, mainly Penaeus monodon, makes an important contribution to Bangladeshs aquaculture industry. Shrimp hatcheries are the foundation on which the shrimp industry is built. Hatchery performance and management ... -
Progress and the future for tilapia farming and seed production in Bangladesh
(2014)Type: WebsiteTilapia farming has great potential in Bangladesh. Tilapia promises to become a primary cultured species for freshwater and brackish water ecosystems, and therefore may also be a major source of employment. Bangladesh could ... -
Aquatic product consumption patterns and perceptions among the Chinese middle class
(2016)Type: Journal ArticleThe Chinese market for aquatic products is the largest in the world, and growing rapidly. An increasingly large proportion of Chinese aquatic product consumption is coming from imported sources, making the market of high ... -
Carp-mola productivity and fish consumption in small-scale homestead aquaculture in Bangladesh
(2016)Type: Journal ArticleSmall indigenous species (SIS) of fish such as the mola carplet (Amblypharyngodon mola) are rich in nutrients, often containing high levels of zinc, iron, and vitamin A. Despite scientific and government efforts, culture ... -
Adoption and Impact of Integrated Rice-Fish Farming System in Bangladesh
(2015)Type: Journal ArticleLike many other South and Southeast Asian countries, different national and international organizations are actively promoting integrated rice-fish farming system (IRFFS) as a potential technique to alleviate poverty, food ... -
Development and performance evaluation of sludge remover for intensive aquaculture
(2016)Type: Journal ArticleFisheries is an emerging sector in Bangladesh producing about 3.50 million tons of fish annually of which aquaculture accounts for 2.00 million tons. In intensive aquaculture, pond water gets polluted due to high stocking ... -
Genotype by environment interaction and genetic heterogeneity of environmental variance of body weight at harvest in genetically improved farmed tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) reared in 3 different countries
(2016)Type: Journal ArticleEstablishing breeding programs that improve farmed fish performance across multiple environments is crucial in a globalized aquaculture market. The main objectives of the current study were to assess the growth performance ... -

(2017)Type: Journal ArticleThe roles of homestead ponds and surrounding dike production of vegetables on farms in peri-urban and rural communities in central north Bangladesh were assessed. The study supports the view that small homestead ponds can ... -
Improving household tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) aquaculture through participatory action research
(2016)Type: Journal ArticleLand based aquaculture has the potential to mitigate future shortfalls of food fish supply in Solomon Islands. However, aquaculture is relatively new in the Pacific and such potential is hampered by a lack of aquaculture ... -
Classifying degrees of species commonness: North Sea fish as a case study
(2015)Type: Journal ArticleSpecies commonness is often related to abundance and species conservation status. Intuitively, a "common species" is a species that is abundant in a certain area, widespread and at low risk of extinction. Analysing and ... -
