Implementing aquaculture technology and innovation platforms in Asia
Type: Journal Article
EURASTIP translated tech and innovation platforms from Europe to Asia. We examine how translation affects form and function of these platforms. We find translation process of is non-linear and pluriform. We reveal 6 design ...
Early selection to enhance genetic gain in a rohu (Labeo rohita) genetic improvement program
Type: Journal Article
Multiple-stage selection can, in certain circumstances, be adopted to enhance genetic gain in genetic improvement programs while avoiding the cost of assessing and maintaining all individuals for extended periods. The ...
Genetic characterization and antimicrobial profiling of bacterial isolates collected from Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) affected by summer mortality syndrome
Type: Journal Article
In recent years, Egyptian tilapia aquaculture has experienced mortality episodes during the summer months. The causative agents responsible for such mortalities have not been clearly identified. A total of 400 fish specimens ...
On-farm participatory evaluation of feeding approaches used by farmers for tilapia (Oreochromis macrochir) production in northern Zambia
Type: Journal Article
This paper reports the first benchmarking of smallholder tilapia farming practices in rural northern Zambia, measuring fish growth, feed utilization and water quality parameters, using a participatory action research ...
Exploring sustainable aquaculture development using a nutrition-sensitive approach
Type: Journal Article
Micronutrient deficiencies constitute a pressing public health concern, especially in developing countries. As a dense source of bioavailable nutrients, aquatic foods can help alleviate such deficiencies. Developing ...
Distinguishing between Nile tilapia strains using a low-density single-nucleotide polymorphism panel
Type: Journal Article
Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is among the most important finfish in aquaculture, particularly in Asia. Numerous genetically improved strains of Nile tilapia have been developed and disseminated through formal and ...
Genetic parameters for black spot disease (diplopstomiasis) caused by Uvulifer sp. infection in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.)
Type: Journal Article
Black spot disease (diplopstomiasis), an external melanized host inflammatory response caused by a number of digenetic trematode parasites, results in slow growth, deformities and increased mortality among many freshwater ...
Planetary boundaries and Veterinary Services
Type: Journal Article
National Veterinary Services (NVS) play a crucial role in animal health, production and welfare. They are also intimately involved with safeguarding global health security and the health of the planet. Climate change is ...
Lock-ins to the dissemination of genetically improved fish seeds
Type: Journal Article
Well-functioning fish seed systems are crucial for human nutrition and improved livelihoods. Yet fish seed systems have received considerably little attention in the diffusion process for genetically improved strains. This ...
Economic performance characterization of intensive shrimp (Penaeus monodon) farming systems in Bangladesh
Type: Journal Article
Intensive shrimp (Penaeus monodon) production system is relatively new in Bangladesh, and has not yet been adequately described or its viability assessed. The aims of this study were to characterize, assess the economic ...
