The report details the implementation of the two components for the Program for Improving Fisheries governance and Blue economy trade corridors project (PROFISHBLUE) and particularly the sub components led by WorldFish.
CGIAR Research Program on Fish Agri-Food Systems: A synthesis
Type: Brief
The fish agri-food system connects supplies of fish and other aquatic foods through multiple pathways and scales to diverse consumers across the planet and is a key component of the global agri-food systems. Fish and other ...
European Commission | TRUE-FISH R3.3: Improved protection of biodiversity, in relation to conservation of native species of tilapias in the EAC region. Annual narrative report: June 2022 to May 2023
Type: Donor Report
This report outlines the results and milestones achieved by WorldFish in implementing actions to meet the objectives of TRUEFISH Result Area 3.3 (Improved protection of biodiversity), from June 2022 to May 2023.
Fish breeding and genetics for improved productivity, profitability and sustainability of small-scale farms
Type: Brief
Faster growing tilapia strains demonstrate continued increase in growth rate in genetic improvement programs and superior profitability for farmers in Africa and South Asia, with reduced environmental impact.

Genetic variation in wild populations and farmed stocks of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in Madagascar
Type: Journal Article
Four farmed stocks and four wild populations of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), which was first introduced to Madagascar sixty years ago, were assayed for genetic variation at nine microsatellite loci to determine ...
Growth performance of three strains of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) on four different feeds in Western and Central Kenya
Type: Journal Article
The growth performance of three commercially available strains of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fed one of four different commercially available feeds during nursery and grow-out was assessed in Kenya. Each of the ...
European Commission | TRUE-FISH R3.3: Improved protection of biodiversity, in relation to conservation of native species of tilapias in the EAC region. Annual narrative report: September 2021 to June 2022
Type: Donor Report
Tilapia aquaculture systems in EAC region are based on a handful of species, notably Oreochromis niloticus (Nile tilapia). However, there are other wild tilapia species and strains that could be potential candidate species ...
