The present study was conducted to evaluate the economics of the fish farms management under different systems and different water sources and its impact on the growth performance of fish in polyculture.

A discussion is presented on the topic of introductions of Nile perch (Lates niloticus ) into Lake Victoria. Introductions were mainly conducted to increase fish populations for the ever increasing human population ...

Following a brief account of the advantages of using the growth performance index in choosing species for culture purposes, an examination is made of growth parameters of Epinephelus suilis and Acanthopagrus cuvieri chosen ...

A account is given of the aquaculture courses available at the Aquaculture Research and Training Asian Institute of Technology, describing also the facilities and research directions which include a scheme to recycle ...

This article reviews the past, present and future activities of the Network of Tropical Aquaculture Scientists (NTAS), an information network for individual scientists working on tropical aquaculture, especially on genetics, ...

Between May and October 1990, fecundity, egg size and condition factor of Chrysichthys nigrodigitatus (Lacépède) in the Cross River, Nigeria, were studied. The fecundity (F) of this population varied from 3 046 eggs (total ...

The current study was carried out to investigate the effect of interaction between calcium and some heavy metals in fish reared in two different water sources (agricultural drainage water and irrigation Nile water).

The aim of this study was to examine genetic variation in reproductive traits and to estimate correlated responses in such traits to selection for high growth rate in the GIFT strain of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus).

The Workshop on Public-Private Partnerships for the Delivery of Tilapia Genetic Research Outputs to Philippine End-users was held in Angeles City, Philippines during 25-27 June 2003 to review and improve the protocol of ...

Geographers first identified aquaculture as an important field of study during the 1990s, pointing to a 'net deficit' in geographical knowledge about the activity. This paper examines how far geographers have come in ...
