Harnessing the development potential of aquatic agricultural systems for the poor and vulnerable: CGIAR Research Program 1.3
Type: Brief
Aquatic Agricultural Systems (AAS) are widely distributed along the world's rivers and coasts. These are generally highly productive systems but multiple constraints limit the ability of poor smallholder families to harness ...
The Status of silverlip pearl oyster Pinctada maxima (Jameson) (Mollusca, Pteridae) in the Solomon Islands after a 15-year export ban
Type: Journal Article
In the Solomon Islands, there have been three periods of commercial exploitation of the silver (gold)-lip pearl oyster Pinctada maxima. The most recent ended in 1993, when export of all species of pearl oysters was banned ...
Aquaculture and food security in Solomon Islands
Type: Journal Article
Pacific Island countries and territories (PICTs) are some of the most vulnerable nations to climate change. Growing populations, combined with climate change and overfishing of inshore reef fish, will compound food security ...
Training manual on improved tilapia culture and dyke cropping in pond/Gher
Type: Manual
Due to inadequate technical knowledge and training in advanced methods of gradually growing tilapia culture, framers are not getting expected yield. From the very beginning of the CSISA-BD project, WoldFish Center has taken ...
Review of tropical reservoirs and their fisheries: The cases of Lake Nasser, Lake Volta and Indo Gangetic Basin reservoir
Type: Report
Freshwaters contribute 15 percent of the world's reported fish catch, or about 10.1 million tonnes in 2006, most of which comes from tropical systems. The true contribution of tropical inland fisheries is likely to be ...
Immanent and interventionist inland Asian aquaculture development and its outcomes
Type: Journal Article
Aquaculture is equated with the reduction of poverty by intergovernmental agencies such as the FAO, which advocate the promotion of small-scale aquaculture through project-based interventions. There is a lack of convincing ...
Aquaculture and food security in Solomon Islands
Type: Brief
Aquaculture and Food Security in the Solomon Islands (ACIAR Project FIS/2009/061) was formulated to assist the Government of Solomon Islands in better understanding the future demand for aquaculture and particularly to ...
A comparison of communal and separate rearing of families in selective breeding of common carp (Cyprinus carpio): Estimation of genetic parameters
Type: Journal Article
The objective of this study was to investigate ways of improving the selective breeding program for growth related traits in common carp in Vietnam. A base population was established from six carp stocks following a single ...
CGIAR Research Program. Aquatic agricultural systems
Type: Brief
Aquatic Agricultural Systems (AAS) are widely distributed along the world's rivers and coasts. These are generally highly productive systems but multiple constraints limit the ability of poor smallholder families to harness ...
Genetic improvement programs for red tilapia Oreochromis spp in Asia
Type: Conference Paper
Red tilapia (Oreochromis spp) has become popular in Asian countries due to its greater economic value relative to Nile tilapia. As there is a growing demand for quality seed of this species, the WorldFish Center has initiated ...
