Type: Journal Article
This paper reviews aquaculture production systems and fish health management practices in Kenya in order to establish and document actions needed to monitor, mitigate and regulate effectively for future fish health problems ...
Echinacea purpurea and Allium sativum as immunostimulants in fish culture using Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
This study aimed to evaluate and compare the efficiency of echinacea and garlic-supplemented diets as immunostimalants after different periods of application and after 4-month of withdrawal on some haematological and ...
Fecundity, growth parameters and survival rate of three African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) strains under hatchery condition
Type: Journal Article
Three strains of African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) from the Netherlands (Dutch), Indonesia and Kenya (Lake Victoria) were studied in hatchery conditions to compare their fecundity, growth performance and survival rates.
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, ...
Targeting agricultural research and extension for food security and poverty alleviation: a case study of fish farming in Central Cameroon
Type: Journal Article
Over 5 years of participatory on-farm research, market access, profitability, farming systems productivity and economic sustainability were compared on 100 small-scale farms in Central Cameroon. Integration technology based ...
Performance of mono-sex tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in rice field with different ditch size
Type: Journal Article
The effects of ditch size on growth and production of mono-sex tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus in rain fed concurrent rice–fish system were technically and economically evaluated for a period of 4 months. Three different ...
Cage-pond integration of African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) and Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) with carps

Cage-pond integration system is a new model for enhancing productivity of pond aquaculture system. A field trial was conducted using African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) and Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in cages ...
Attenuated virulence of pigment-producing mutant of Aeromonas veronii bv. sobria in HeLa cells and Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
Aeromonas species are potential water/foodborne pathogens, whereas Aeromonas veronii bv. sobria is one of the most virulent species to human and fish. Most current experimental evidence has publicized that suicide plasmid ...
Effect of the filter-feeder silver carp on the water quality of fertilized earthen ponds and Nile tilapia production
Type: Journal Article
The objective of this study is to test the effect of silver carp on water quality and tilapia yield.
Measuring individual feed efficiency and its correlations with performance traits in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus
Type: Journal Article
Estimating individual feed intake of fish held in groups has long been a challenge precluding precise knowledge of the individual variation of feed efficiency (FE) in fish. In this study, counts of the number of feed pellets ...
