Shrimp (Penaeus monodon) farming in the coastal areas of Bangladesh: Challenges and prospects towards sustainable development
Type: Book Chapter
This chapter mainly presents the history of shrimp aquaculture in Bangladesh and impacts of shrimp farming on rural livelihoods with particular focus on income and dietary consumption, based on literature reviews and ...
Performance of the Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT) strain over ten generations of selection in Malaysia
Type: Journal Article
A selection programme using Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (BLUP) method for the estimation of genetic merit was implemented by the Department of Fisheries Malaysia (DOF) in collaboration with the WorldFish Centre. This ...
Synthesis report: Identification of enabling and disenabling social and cultural factors affecting aquaculture development
Type: Report
Success or failure of any development intervention is largely dependent on human capital, social capital of households and a range of socio-cultural factors that include culture, religion, beliefs, ethnicity, caste, ...
Why antimicrobial resistance in aquaculture systems matters for the One Health approach
Type: Poster
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria change and become resistant to antibiotics used to treat the infections they cause. The interconnected nature of agri-food systems means that AMR can spread, posing a ...
Indirect genetic effects and inbreeding: Consequences of BLUP selection for socially affected traits on rate of inbreeding
Type: Journal Article
Social interactions often occur among living organisms, including aquatic animals. There is empirical evidence showing that social interactions may genetically affect phenotypes of individuals and their group mates. In ...
Genetic parameters and correlated responses in female reproductive traits in the GIFT strain
Type: Journal Article
The aim of this study was to examine genetic variation in reproductive traits and to estimate correlated responses in such traits to selection for high growth rate in the GIFT strain of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus).
Benefits and challenges of applying outcome mapping in an R4D project
Type: Working Paper
The Community-based Fish Culture in Seasonal Floodplains and Irrigation Systems (CBFC) project is a five year research project supported by the Challenge Program on Water and Food (CPWF), with the aim of increasing ...
Baseline survey final report: Aquaculture for income and nutrition project
Type: Report
The World Fish Center, in collaboration with the GOB and USAID, has been implementing the FtF Aquaculture Project since October 2011 with a view to meet the government and FtF goals to sustainably reduce poverty and ...
Genetic variance for uniformity of harvest weight in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
Competition for resources is common in aquaculture, which inflates the variability of fish body weight. Selective breeding is one of the effective approaches that may enable a reduction of size variability (or increase in ...
Overview of sea cucumber aquaculture and sea-ranching research in the South-East Asian region
Type: Conference Paper
South-East Asia has traditionally been the global centre of production of tropical sea cucumbers for Chinese markets. Early research into culture methods took place outside this region, notably in India, the Pacific region ...
