Quantifying greenhouse gas emissions from global aquaculture
(2020)Type: Journal ArticleGlobal aquaculture makes an important contribution to food security directly (by increasing food availability and accessibility) and indirectly (as a driver of economic development). In order to enable sustainable expansion ... -
Quantifying gregarine infestation of Penaeus vannamei on a commercial shrimp farm and some attempts at treatment
(1994)Type: Journal ArticleThe gregarine (Nematopsis spp.) infestation in Penaeus vannamei on a commercial shrimp pond is discussed focusing on quantifying the parasites and some attempts to control infestation. -
Quantifying the genetic parameters of feed efficiency in juvenile Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus
(2018)Type: Journal ArticleImproving feed efficiency in fish is crucial at the economic, social and environmental levels with respect to developing a more sustainable aquaculture. The important contribution of genetic improvement to achieve this ... -
Quantitative genetic basis of fatty acid composition in the GIFT strain of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) selected for high growth
(2010)Type: Journal ArticleThe quantitative genetic basis of fatty acid composition was examined in the Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT) strain of Nile tilapia selected for high breeding value for body weight and in the contemporaneous ... -
Quantitative genetic parameter estimates for body and carcass traits in a cultured stock of giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) selected for harvest weight in Vietnam
(2013)Type: Journal ArticleBenefits derived from selective breeding have been demonstrated in livestock and in some fish species, but by contrast, there have been few systematic selection programs reported for shrimps. Improving growth rate has been ... -
Quantitative trait loci controlling swimming performance and their effect on growth in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
(2022)Type: Journal ArticleCritical swimming speed (Ucrit) is an important measurement of swimming performance and a good indicator for cardio-respiratory health. It offers a new opportunity to select fish with better fitness. However, the genomic ... -

Quick fish sampling guide for disease diagnostics - Bacteriology sampling guide
(2021)Type: ToolBacterial diseases represent one of the major impediments to sustainable aquaculture. Routine screening for bacterial pathogens at various life stages of tilapia, carp and catfish a are important to minimize their introduction ... -
Quick fish sampling guide for disease diagnostics - Blood sampling guide
(2021)Type: ToolFish blood sampling requires specific techniques and skills that are fundamental for all kinds of analyses such as haematology, chemistry analysis, parasitology/bacteriology investigation, antibody titration, molecular ... -
Quick fish sampling guide for disease diagnostics - Histology sampling guide
(2021)Type: ToolDuring investigation of an abnormal mortality event, fish tissues (or biopsies) for histopathology analysis are collected for disease diagnosis. Histology consists in the preparation of thin, stained tissue sections for ... -
Quick fish sampling guide for disease diagnostics - Microbiome sampling guide
(2021)Type: ToolInteractions between microbes associated with the host, other organisms present in the system and the environment itself are increasingly recognised to contribute to aquatic animal diseases. Those microbiome assemblages ... -
Quick fish sampling guide for disease diagnostics - Molecular diagnostics sampling guide
(2021)Type: ToolMajor pathogens of fish and other farmed aquatic animals include bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites. These can lead to serious infectious diseases and losses representing one of the major limitation to sustainable ... -
Quick fish sampling guide for disease diagnostics - Wet mount sampling guide (for ectoparasites & fungi)
(2021)Type: ToolParasitic and fungal infestations represent one of the major challenges to sustainable aquaculture. As part of routine health checks or during abnormal mortality events, screening for ectoparasites and fungi in tilapia, ... -
Quick protocol for antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) in aquatic animal species from aquaculture and fisheries
(2021)Type: ToolAntimicrobial Resistance (AMR) happens when microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites are able to resist the inhibition or killing effects of medicines used to treat the infections they cause, making ... -
Raising awareness of antimicrobial resistance in rural aquaculture practice in Bangladesh through digital communications: a pilot study
(2020)Type: Journal ArticleOne of the key strategic objectives of the World Health Organisation’s global antimicrobial resistance (AMR) action plan is to improve public awareness and understanding of this issue. Very few AMR awareness campaigns have ... -
