Maintaining the "public good" nature of improved fish strains: dissemination of knowledge and materials
Type: Conference Paper
Many sources of information that discuss currents problems of food security point to the importance of farmed fish as an ideal food source that can be grown by poor farmers, (Asian Development Bank 2004). Furthermore, the ...
Baseline biochemical and genetic profiles of four fishes from the River Nile
Type: Journal Article
Six enzyme systems coding for 10 loci and 6 proteins were examined in the blood of Polypterus senegalus, Clarias lazera, Tilapia nilotica and Protopterus annectens, using electrophoresis. Six loci were polymorphic in all ...
