Effect of using periphyton substrate (Bamboo stems) on water quality, phytoplankton, zooplankton, periphyton and growth performance for tilapia, mullet and catfish in earthen ponds
Type: Journal Article
This experiment shows that the bamboo substrate improved water quality, survival rate and total production of fish.
Changes in the biomass of chambo in the southeast arm of Lake Malawi: A stock assessment of Oreochromis spp.
Type: Journal Article
Lake Malawi has one of the most diverse fish faunas in the world (500–650 species) and is a major source of protein for the people of Malawi. Chambo (Oreochromis spp.) is one of the most important food fishes; its abundance ...
Cultured fish: integrative biology and management of domestication and interactions with wild fish
Type: Journal Article
Fish aquaculture for commodity production, fisheries enhancement and conservation is expanding rapidly, with many cultured species undergoing inadvertent or controlled domestication. Cultured fish are frequently released, ...
Growth and survival rate of three genetic groups fed 28% and 34% protein diets
Type: Journal Article
The strain by nutrition interaction in body weight and survival rate was examined by testing three genetic groups (Selection and Control lines of the GIFT strain, and Red tilapia) at two levels of protein in the diet (28% ...
Multiple water use as an approach for increased basin productivity and improved adaptation: a case study from Bangladesh
Type: Journal Article
This study, supported by the Challenge Program Water and Food (CPWF-Project 35), demonstrates the case of multiple-use of water through seasonal aquaculture interventions for improved rice–fish production systems in the ...
Genotype by production environment interaction in the GIFT strain of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
Three discrete generations of GIFT fish (Nile tilapia strain, Oreochromis niloticus; a total of 10,065 fish with pedigree and phenotypic information) were tested in pond and cage culture environments to determine genotype ...
Effect of gypsum treatment on water quality parameters and fish performance in fertilized polyculture earthen ponds
Type: Journal Article
This experiment aimed to study the effect of agriculture gypsum treatment in aquaculture ponds (to raise water total hardness) on the physico-chemical and biological parameters of pond water and fish performance in a ...
Genetic improvement of farmed tilapias: Genetic parameters for body weight at harvest in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) during five generations of testing in multiple environments
Type: Journal Article
The main objective of this paper was to report more reliable estimates of the genetic variation and the genotype by test environment interaction for harvest body weight in the GIFT population in the Philippines than could ...
Small-scale shrimp farmers and global markets: Trends, future prospects and adaptation
Type: Journal Article
It is time to recognize the crucial role of small-scale farmers in Asian aquaculture production and trade. The socially and economically important smallscale sector – the “mainstay” of Asian aquaculture – is innovative, ...
Production performance of white fish in two different culture systems in Patuakhali, Bangladesh
Type: Journal Article
The present study was carried out to compare the production performance of white fish from traditional and modified traditional culture system in Patuakhali with the following objectives: 1) To know the production performance ...
