Phenotypic and genetic parameters for body measurements, reproductive traits and gut length of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) selected for growth in low-input earthen ponds
(2007)Type: Journal ArticleIn this study we present estimates of phenotypic and genetic parameters for body size measurements, reproductive traits, and gut length for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) selected for growth in fertilized earthen ... -
GIS mapping of pond aquaculture potential in Bangladesh
(2007)Type: BriefIn Bangladesh inland pond aquaculture supplies 45% of freshwater fish, an important protein source for its increasing population. To maintain the desired productivity growth of the aquaculture sector will mean bringing ... -
Snorkel the web: ReefBase brings a sea change in access to information about coral reefs
(2007)Type: BriefThis fact sheet highlights ReefBase, an award-winning online global information system designed to facilitate research on, and the management of, coral reefs to enhance their protection. Launched in 2002, ReefBase was ... -
GIS mapping of pond aquaculture potential in southern Cameroon, Africa
(2007)Type: BriefCurrently there is an unmet demand for freshwater aquaculture production in Cameroon to satisfy domestic fish needs and enhance food security. The aquaculture sub-sector remains under-developed despite its reported potential ... -
GIS mapping of pond aquaculture potential in southern Malawi, Africa
(2007)Type: BriefSmallholding aquaculture in Malawi is gaining popularity, particularly with the promotion of pond-fish culture within integrated agriculture-aquaculture (IAA) systems. These systems benefit poor farm households through ... -
Roles of ponds in integrated agriculture-aquaculture systems
(2007)Type: Book ChapterThe effects of adding an aquaculture pond to existing farming operations on nutrient use efficiency and productivity were explored. Ponds can be used to cycle nutrients from agricultural by-products such as manures and ... -
Freshwater fish seed resources in Cameroon
(2007)Type: Book ChapterThe climate, land and water resources of Cameroon, combined with the high demand for fisheries products, makes this Central African country a high potential area for aquaculture. Fingerling availability and quality have ... -
Selecting Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) for growth in low-input environments
(2007)Type: Book ChapterThis chapter presents the results from a selective breeding experiment with Nile tilapia in a low input pond environment. The environment was defined as low input as the pond only received chicken manure for fertilisation. ... -
Estimation of genetic change in the GIFT strain by comparing contemporary progeny produced by males born in 1991 or 2003
(2007)Type: Conference PaperDuring the development of the GIFT (Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia) strain in Philippines sperm was frozen from a sample of males from founder stocks and subsequent generations. In this paper a comparison of progeny ... -
Performances of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) selected for high growth rate after three generations
(2007)Type: Journal ArticleA selective breeding study for live weight based on a fully pedigreed population of GIFT (Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia) strain was carried out at the Aquaculture Extension Centre, Department of Fisheries, Jitra, ... -
Modeling pond water availability for fish culture
(2007)Type: Book ChapterA study was carried out to estimate pond-water availability for fish culture by developing and applying a simulation model that can express water budget for fish ponds based on prevailing climatic and hydrological conditions. ... -
Genetic improvement of farmed tilapias: composition and genetic parameters of a synthetic base population of Oreochromis niloticus for selective breeding
(2007)Type: Journal ArticleThe present study is based on data recorded from fish of the third generation of the GIFT project (Genetic Improvement of Farmed Tilapias). The objective of the study was to compose a synthetic base population of Nile ... -
GIS mapping of pond aquaculture potential in Henan province, China
(2007)Type: BriefFreshwater aquaculture development in Henan province is uneven, with more intensive systems occurring in the Huanghe basin while the southern part is relatively underdeveloped and is the target for improving productivity ... -
Inland fisheries and aquaculture
(2007)Type: Book ChapterThis review showed that the contributions from inland fisheries and aquaculture in economic and social development are undervalued and warrant integrated water management approach to address the various challenges presented ... -
Fishponds in farming systems
(2007)Type: BookThis book is a collection of refereed papers on a controversial subject in agricultural development. Arguing that sustainability of fish culture in ponds needs a new paradigm - feed the pond to grow fish - two chapters ... -
An empirical bio-economic stocking model for floodplain beels in Bangladesh.
(2007)Type: Journal ArticleWhile stocking floodplain depressions or beels with fingerlings is a common form of fisheries management in Bangladesh, bio-economic guidance for improving the outcome of stocking strategies is sparse. The Community-Based ... -
Floodplain aquaculture
(2007)Type: BrochureBangladesh's natural floodplain fisheries remain vital in providing food, income and employment opportunities for millions. This booklet outlines the various aspects of floodplain aquaculture in Bangladesh, including ... -
Towards the maximum profitability of smallholder catfish nurseries: predator defense and feeding-adapted stocking of Clarias gariepinus
(2007)Type: Journal ArticleTo determine how best smallholders could maximize the profitability of their catfish hatcheries, the cost/benefit analyses of using fences, hapas and bird nets to exclude predators; as well as over-stocking to create food ... -
