Implementing aquaculture technology and innovation platforms in Asia
Type: Journal Article
EURASTIP translated tech and innovation platforms from Europe to Asia. We examine how translation affects form and function of these platforms. We find translation process of is non-linear and pluriform. We reveal 6 design ...
Vulnerabilities in aquatic animal production
Type: Journal Article
The role of aquatic animals in global food and nutrition security is increasingly recognised. The global demand for fish is increasing, leading to a need to significantly increase its supply. Securing future fish supplies ...
Early selection to enhance genetic gain in a rohu (Labeo rohita) genetic improvement program
Type: Journal Article
Multiple-stage selection can, in certain circumstances, be adopted to enhance genetic gain in genetic improvement programs while avoiding the cost of assessing and maintaining all individuals for extended periods. The ...
Effect of substituting fishmeal with corn protein concentrate on growth performance, nutrient utilization and skin coloration in red hybrid tilapia, Oreochromis sp.
Type: Journal Article
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of fishmeal (FM) replacement with corn protein concentrate (CPC) on growth performance, nutrient utilization, gut morphology and skin coloration of red hybrid tilapia, ...
How is innovation in aquaculture conceptualized and managed? A systematic literature review and reflection framework to inform analysis and action
Type: Journal Article
Aquaculture has experienced spectacular growth in the past decades, during which continuous innovation has played a significant role, but it faces increasing criticism regarding its ecological and social sustainability ...
Genetic characterization and antimicrobial profiling of bacterial isolates collected from Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) affected by summer mortality syndrome
Type: Journal Article
In recent years, Egyptian tilapia aquaculture has experienced mortality episodes during the summer months. The causative agents responsible for such mortalities have not been clearly identified. A total of 400 fish specimens ...
On-farm participatory evaluation of feeding approaches used by farmers for tilapia (Oreochromis macrochir) production in northern Zambia
Type: Journal Article
This paper reports the first benchmarking of smallholder tilapia farming practices in rural northern Zambia, measuring fish growth, feed utilization and water quality parameters, using a participatory action research ...
Exploring sustainable aquaculture development using a nutrition-sensitive approach
Type: Journal Article
Micronutrient deficiencies constitute a pressing public health concern, especially in developing countries. As a dense source of bioavailable nutrients, aquatic foods can help alleviate such deficiencies. Developing ...
Selective breeding trait preferences for farmed tilapia among low-income women and men consumers in Egypt; Implications for pro-poor and gender-responsive fish breeding programmes
Type: Journal Article
A number of studies have highlighted the promising growth of Egyptian tilapia aquaculture and the role of genetically improved strains in this development, such as the Abbassa Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus, Linneaus, ...
Distinguishing between Nile tilapia strains using a low-density single-nucleotide polymorphism panel
Type: Journal Article
Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is among the most important finfish in aquaculture, particularly in Asia. Numerous genetically improved strains of Nile tilapia have been developed and disseminated through formal and ...
