Fluctuations in growth are heritable and a potential indicator of resilience in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
Resilience can be defined as the capacity of an animal to be minimally affected by perturbations or to quickly recover to the state it had before the perturbation. When applied to production animals, resilience is defined ...
Genotype by environment interaction between aerated and non-aerated ponds and the impact of aeration on genetic parameters in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
A major problem in smallholder Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) farms is that the achieved production is much lower than under optimal management. One of the main environmental factors contributing to lower production ...
Indonesian aquaculture futures — identifying interventions for reducing environmental impacts
Type: Journal Article
Indonesia is the world's second largest producer and third largest consumer of seafood. Fish is thus essential to the nation, both financially and nutritionally. Overfishing and the effects of climate change will, however, ...
Typology of interventions for antimicrobial use and antimicrobial resistance in aquaculture systems in low- and middle-income countries
Type: Journal Article
Indiscriminate antimicrobial use (AMU) in aquaculture to treat and prevent diseases is common and can lead to the emergence of antimicrobial-resistant micro-organisms, potentially impacting public health and connected ...
Quantitative trait loci controlling swimming performance and their effect on growth in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
Critical swimming speed (Ucrit) is an important measurement of swimming performance and a good indicator for cardio-respiratory health. It offers a new opportunity to select fish with better fitness. However, the genomic ...
Consumption practices in transition: Rural-urban migration and the food fish system in Myanmar
Type: Journal Article
This article explores the reconfigurations of fish consumption practices in Myanmar in a context of rapid urbanization and changing availability of wild and farmed fish. Using a social practice lens, we analyze how everyday ...
A review of access and benefit-sharing measures and literature in key aquaculture-producing countries
Type: Journal Article
Countries increasingly use access and benefit-sharing laws as a tool for the conservation and sustainable use of biological resources and associated traditional knowledge. These laws generally require the recipient of ...
Migratory fishes in Myanmar rivers and wetlands: challenges for sustainable development between irrigation water control infrastructure and sustainable inland capture fisheries
Type: Journal Article
Irrigated agriculture and maintaining inland capture fisheries are both essential for food and nutrition security in Myanmar. However, irrigated agriculture through water control infrastructure, such as sluices or barrages, ...
Climate risk management practices of fish and shrimp farmers in the Mekong Region
Type: Journal Article
As comparative multi-country studies are rare, not much is known about the effects of regional differences in social-ecological conditions on the adoption of climate risk management practices in aquaculture. This study is ...
Assessing the Potential for Sustainable Aquaculture Development in Cambodia
Type: Journal Article
Inland capture fisheries are central to livelihoods and food security in Cambodia, but are under threat from growing anthropogenic pressures. Policy discourse in Cambodia increasingly frames aquaculture as a viable alternative ...
