Over 5 years of participatory on-farm research, market access, profitability, farming systems productivity and economic sustainability were compared on 100 small-scale farms in Central Cameroon. Integration technology based ...

An assessment of the status of production and consumption of tilapia in five Asian countries was made to provide a baseline for the analysis of the potential benefits of the introduction of a new, improved strain of Nile ...

The Aphyosemion calliurum species group is poorly diagnosed by chromatic and meristic characteristics leading various authors to propose different species as members. We used partial sequence of the mitochondrial cytochrome ...

Parameters of the von Bertalanffy growth function are presented for 42 fish stocks belonging to 16 families, 22 genera and 27 species. The growth performance index, Phi '(= log K + 2logL sub( infinity )), was computed for ...

The co-culture of juvenile sea cucumber Holothuria scabra (Jaeger), or ‘sandfish’, with juvenile blue shrimp Litopenaeus stylirostris (Stimpson) was tested by growing groups in co-culture and monoculture for 3 weeks in ...

A 16 week experiment was conducted to evaluate growth performances, gonads development, carcass and proximateanalysis of diploid and triploid Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus.

Describes and fully illustrates in comics format the techniques for growing fish in pen systems, adapted from the techniques developed for two important reservoirs in Indonesia.

Following Sparre's (1990) demonstration that length-converted catch curves overestimate total mortality when growth is seasonal, Pauly (1990) presented a method for constructing length-converted growth curves that allow ...

Highlights the traditional importance of giant clams, and how participatory farming research can best be carried out within the islands' culture.

Modern aquaculture requires the reduction of the feeds cost, which can partly be achieved by minimal use of dietary animal protein. Therefore, this experiment assessing the nutritional potential of using high protein ...
