Technical efficiency of small-scale aquaculture in Myanmar: Does women’s participation in decision-making matter?
Type: Journal Article
Efficient use of inputs is crucial for sustainable aquaculture productivity growth, increased profitability, and improved livelihoods in developing countries. Studies have shown that women’s participation in decision-making ...
Sustainable aquaculture development in sub-Saharan Africa
Type: Journal Article
Sustainable aquaculture development in sub-Saharan Africa: Aquaculture must grow above the current rate of 11% per year to meet projected demand and reduce dependence on seafood imports. Government support and private ...
Development and validation of an open access SNP array for 2 Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis Niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
Tilapia are amongst the most important farmed fish species worldwide, and are fundamental for the food security of many developing countries. Several genetically improved Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) strains exist, ...
Genetic diversity of tilapia lake virus genome segment 1 from 2011 to 2019 and a newly validated semi-nested RT-PCR method
Type: Journal Article
The gene of RNA viruses, encoding RNA-directed RNA polymerase (RdRp) is relatively conserved due to its crucial function in viral genome replication and transcription making it a useful target for genetic diversity study ...
Experimental and survey-based data on willingness to pay for seafood safety and environmental sustainability certification in Nigeria
Type: Journal Article
Fish/seafood represents an increasingly important source of animal protein in diets globally. Aquaculture growth, which already constitutes half of all seafood consumed by humans, is critical to meet increasing demand for ...
Fish, roots, tubers and bananas: opportunities and constraints for agri-food system integration
Type: Journal Article
Agri-food system integration has the potential to increase and add value to agricultural production, reduce cost of and dependency on external inputs, generate additional income to farmers, and encourage the diversification ...
Uneven adoption of tilapia aquaculture in rural Solomon Islands
Type: Journal Article
Across many Pacific Island Countries, food insecurity and malnutrition are on the rise. In response, governments, development agencies, and non-governmental organisations are promoting small-scale aquaculture as a complement ...
Innovation, practice, and adaptation to climate in the aquaculture sector
Type: Journal Article
The importance of innovation for effective responses to climate change is widely asserted, but exactly how and whom innovation helps adapt has received little systematic attention. In this synthetic review, a practice-oriented ...
Effects of carbohydrate sources on a biofloc nursery system for whiteleg shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei)
Type: Journal Article
In biofloc technology carbohydrate is added to stimulate the biofloc growth, the latter helps to improve water quality, reduce the need for water exchange and may serve as natural shrimp feed. The large diversity among ...
Effect of dietary carbohydrate to lipid ratio on performance of Nile tilapia and enhancement of natural food in pond aquaculture
Type: Journal Article
This study tested the effect of two diets differing in carbohydrate to lipid (CHO:LIP) ratio (4.7 vs. 19.5 g/g) on the contribution of natural food and the total fish production in tilapia ponds. Eight ponds, each divided ...
