In situ fatty acid production supports shrimp yields in diets lacking fish oil and fishmeal
Type: Journal Article
Using capture fishery‐derived fish oil and fishmeal in aquafeeds is unsustainable. This study mimicked semi‐intensive shrimp ponds, including primary producers, in mesocosm tanks. Fatty acid mass balances were computed to ...
Rapid visualization in the specific detection of Flavobacterium columnare, a causative agent of freshwater columnaris using a novel recombinase polymerase amplification (RPA) combined with lateral flow dipstick (LFD) assay
Type: Journal Article
Flavobacterium columnare is the causative agent of columnaris, a serious disease affecting numerous freshwater fish species worldwide. Although several molecular protocols have been established to detect this pathogen, ...
Population, temperature and feeding rate effects on individual feed efficiency in European Sea Bass (Dicentrarchus labrax)
Type: Journal Article
Using breeding programs to improve feed efficiency, the ratio between fish body weight gain (BWG) and feed intake (FI), could increase aquaculture sustainability through reduced feed costs and environmental impact. To this ...

Fish underpin future nutritional security, supplying high quality protein, iron, iodine and vitamin A that are critical to childhood development and deficient in many staple foods. In 2018, 54.1 million tonnes of fish were ...
Species composition in the Molobicus hybrid tilapia strain
Type: Journal Article
The “Molobicus” hybrid breeding programme was initiated to improve tilapia growth performance in brackish water. The base population was created by backcrossing F1 Oreochromis niloticus GIFT strains × feral O. mossambicus ...
Fish for whom? Integrating the management of social complexities into technical investments for inclusive, multifunctional irrigation
Type: Brief
Most interventions in the water sector remain technocratic and blind to trade-offs that undermine
overall development outcomes. The relationship between irrigation and inland capture fisheries is
a case in point, as ...
