Genetic enhancement and conservation of aquatic biodiversity in Africa
Type: Journal Article
There is a pressing need to enhance fish production in Africa through improved farm management and the use of improved fish breeds and/or alien species in aquaculture while at the same time conserve the aquatic genetic ...
Towards policies for conservation and sustainable use of aquatic genetic resources
Type: Conference Proceedings
Genetic stock identification is increasingly needed for fisheries management. Genetic technologies are being developed to increase food production from aquaculture and to document and evaluate aquatic species, subspecies ...
Exploitation and conservation of fish genetic resources in Africa: issues and priorities for aquaculture development and research
Type: Journal Article
Africa harbours a rich biological diversity of native fish resources. Recognition of the potential to use these resources to make significant contributions towards improving African food security through aquaculture has ...
Tilapia genetic resources for aquaculture
Type: Conference Proceedings
Tilapia culture in Asia and other non African countries is practiced on a narrow genetic base. In contrast, African countries, many of which need assistance to develop their own aquaculture sectors, hold the global wealth ...
Genetic diversity in wild stocks of the giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii): implications for aquaculture and conservation
Type: Journal Article
The giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) is cultured widely around the world but little is known about the levels and patterns of genetic diversity in either wild or cultured stocks. Studies have suggested ...
Aquaculture development 3. Genetic resource management
Type: Report
These Technical Guidelines have been developed to support sections of the FAO’s Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries on aspects of genetic resource management in aquaculture. Guidance is provided on broodstock management ...
Consultation on fish genetic resources
Type: Conference Proceedings
Naturally occurring fish genetic resources are of great importance for fisheries and aquaculture. Fish farmers and fishers face a future in which the diversity of their basic resources is under threat and the genetic ...
Down to earth thoughts on conserving aquatic genetic diversity
Type: Journal Article
A discussion is presented on the topic of maintaining genetic diversity in aquatic ecosystems, considering the various threats caused by irreversible damage or loss to the environment. The current situation in aquaculture ...
Selective breeding in fish and conservation of genetic resources for aquaculture
Type: Journal Article
To satisfy increasing demands for fish as food, progress must occur towards greater aquaculture productivity whilst retaining the wild and farmed genetic resources that underpin global fish production. We review the main ...
