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 ...
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 ...
Typology of interventions for antimicrobial use and antimicrobial resistance in aquaculture systems in low- and middle-income countries
Type: Journal Article
Indiscriminate antimicrobial use (AMU) in aquaculture to treat and prevent diseases is common and can lead to the emergence of antimicrobial-resistant micro-organisms, potentially impacting public health and connected ...
Genetic diversity of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) throughout West Africa
Type: Journal Article
Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is a globally significant aquaculture species rapidly gaining status as a farmed commodity. In West Africa, wild Nile tilapia genetic resources are abundant yet knowledge of fine-scale ...
Maximum likelihood parentage assignment using quantitative genotypes
Type: Journal Article
The cost of parentage assignment precludes its application in many selective breeding programs and molecular ecology studies, and/or limits the circumstances or number of individuals to which it is applied. Pooling samples ...
Relationships between pond water and tilapia skin microbiomes in aquaculture ponds in Malawi
Type: Journal Article
Intensification of fish farming practices is being driven by the demand for increased food production to support a rapidly growing global human population, particularly in lower-middle income countries. Intensification of ...
Consumption practices in transition: Rural-urban migration and the food fish system in Myanmar
Type: Journal Article
This article explores the reconfigurations of fish consumption practices in Myanmar in a context of rapid urbanization and changing availability of wild and farmed fish. Using a social practice lens, we analyze how everyday ...
Comparing genomic signatures of selection between the Abbassa Strain and eight wild populations of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in Egypt
Type: Journal Article
Domestication to captive rearing conditions, along with targeted selective breeding have genetic consequences that vary from those in wild environments. Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is one of the most translocated ...
Pipette and paper: Combining molecular and genealogical methods to assess a Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) breeding program
Type: Journal Article
The paper compared molecular and paper records of pedigrees in a Nile tilapia breeding program, the Abbassa line in Egypt. It established a novel pipeline of checks and balances based on molecular data to correct erroneous ...
Quantifying greenhouse gas emissions from global aquaculture
Type: Journal Article
Global aquaculture makes an important contribution to food security directly (by increasing food availability and accessibility) and indirectly (as a driver of economic development). In order to enable sustainable expansion ...
