This document is part of a series of 5 technical manuals produced by the Challenge Program Project CP34 “Improved fisheries productivity and management in tropical reservoirs”. The Water Research Institute (WRI) in Akosombo, ...

Nigeria is one of Africa’s largest aquaculture producers, yet its lack of a clear aquatic animal health strategy has resulted in substantial disease-related production losses. There is little or no biosecurity management ...

The “Molobicus” hybrid breeding programme was initiated to improve tilapia growth performance in brackish water. The base population was created by backcrossing F1 Oreochromis niloticus GIFT strains × feral O. mossambicus ...

The freshwater river systems and floodplains of Bangladesh are the breeding grounds for 13 endemic species of carps and barbs and a large number of other fish species, including a number of exotic carps and other species ...

Worldwide tilapia production is rapidly growing and becoming increasingly reliant on the provision of cost-effective sustainable formulated feeds. In the paper, the authors assessed the capacity for various inclusion rates ...

Estimating individual feed intake of fish held in groups has long been a challenge precluding precise knowledge of the individual variation of feed efficiency (FE) in fish. In this study, counts of the number of feed pellets ...

The article features two most commonly techniques for gene transfer in fish, microinjection and electroporation.
