Nudging fisheries and aquaculture research towards food systems
Type: Journal Article
Food system is a powerful concept for understanding and responding to nutrition and sustainability challenges. Food systems integrate social, economic, environmental and health aspects of food production through to ...
Reassortment and evolutionary dynamics of tilapia lake virus genomic segments
Type: Journal Article
The tilapia lake virus (TiLV), a highly infectious negative-sense single-stranded segmented RNA virus, has caused several outbreaks worldwide since its first report from Israel in 2014, and continues to pose a major threat ...
Replacing fishmeal with a single cell protein feedstuff in Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus diets
Type: Journal Article
There is a growing concern about the use of fisheries-derived proteins in aquaculture. This study
was conducted to investigate the effect of either partially or totally replacing fishmeal (up to 15%
of the diet) by the ...
Are consumers in developing countries willing to pay for aquaculture food safety certification? Evidence from a field experiment in Nigeria
Type: Journal Article
Many developing countries face challenges in managing food safety risks associated with consumption of animal-source foods. Efforts to address these challenges increasingly recognize the role of certification in agri-food ...
Genotype by environment interaction between aerated and non-aerated ponds and the impact of aeration on genetic parameters in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
A major problem in smallholder Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) farms is that the achieved production is much lower than under optimal management. One of the main environmental factors contributing to lower production ...
Metabolic growth, plankton selectivity, haemato-biochemical and intestinal morphometry of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fed a lysine-deficient diet in earthen ponds
Type: Journal Article
Sustainable aquaculture requires the efficient use of natural pond resources as well as supplements to meet the dietary requirements of fish species. However, aquaculture diets are often produced without considering the ...
Limits of tilapia aquaculture for rural livelihoods in Solomon Islands
Type: Journal Article
Increasing pressure on coastal fisheries poses serious threats to local livelihoods and the food security of Pacific Islanders. In response, governments and development agencies have explored tilapia pond aquaculture as ...
An investigation of links between metabolic rate and feed efficiency in European sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax
Type: Journal Article
Feed efficiency (FE) is the amount of body weight gain for a given feed intake. Improving FE through selective breeding is key for sustainable finfish aquaculture but its evaluation at individual level is technically ...
Apparent digestibility coefficients of local palm kernel cakes, rice bran, maize bran and sago flour in the GIFT strain of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
An experiment was conducted to estimate the apparent digestibility coefficients (ADC) of macronutrients and energy of local palm kernel cakes, rice bran, maize bran and sago flour available in tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus ...
Antibiotics usage practices in aquaculture in Bangladesh and their associated factors
Type: Journal Article
Background: Irrational and inappropriate use of antibiotics in aquaculture can contribute to the development of antibiotic resistance.
Objectives: In this study, we aimed to assess antibiotic usage in inland and coastal ...
