Impacts of epizootic ulcerative syndrome on subsistence fisheries and wildlife
Type: Journal Article
Epizootic ulcerative syndrome (EUS), caused by the water mould (Oomycota) Aphanomyces invadans, has spread throughout the world’s major continents over the last 50 years, with the apparent exception of South and Central ...
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 ...
Sibship assignment to the founders of a Bangladeshi Catla catla breeding population
Type: Journal Article
In terms of quantity produced, Catla catla is the sixth most important finfish aquaculture species produced globally in 2015. It is primarily grown in South Asia, often on a small scale in polyculture with other species. ...
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 ...
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 ...
Indonesian aquaculture futures — identifying interventions for reducing environmental impacts
Type: Journal Article
Indonesia is the world's second largest producer and third largest consumer of seafood. Fish is thus essential to the nation, both financially and nutritionally. Overfishing and the effects of climate change will, however, ...
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 ...
Agonistic behaviour and feed efficiency in juvenile Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus
Type: Journal Article
The main hypothesis of the present study was that an aggressive and dominant fish would eat more feed and would be more efficient. To test this hypothesis, estimations of the relationships between agonistic behaviour, ...
