Background The Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is the third most important freshwater fish for aquaculture. Its success is directly linked to continuous breeding efforts focusing on production traits such as growth ...

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 ...

Research reporting user trait preferences for fish, particularly in relation to guiding genetic improvement programs are rare, even in tilapia where demand for genetically improved fish has underpinned the expansion of ...

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 ...

In the present study, two hatchery strains of Oreochromis niloticus and two of O. andersonii sourced from different hatcheries in Zambia were subjected to the same feeding and management regimes in a controlled indoor tank ...

Brine shrimp Artemia nauplii constitute the most widely used live-food item for the larviculture of crustaceans and fish. The advantages of Artemia nauplii compared to inert diets are size (450 µm), live prey, digestibility, ...

The aquaculture sector plays very momentous role in providing nutritionally rich food and livelihood support to the impecunious communities across the developing world thus contributing directly and indirectly to their ...

This first draft of a Decision Lattice (technically called a Formal Concept Lattice) visualises the scenario decision matrix following the input of data from the High and Low Temperature actions in the tables given. The ...

Artemia nauplii is an excellent live food source to fulfill the nutritional requirement in larviculture of crustaceans and marine fish due to its high digestible protein content, essential fatty acid and small in size ...

One visionary policy change & one innovative flagship program of the Government involving multiple Departments could socio- economically empower tens of thousands of women organized under self-help groups by engaging them ...
