From researcher to farmer: partnerships in integrated aquaculture-agriculture systems in Malawi and Cameroon
Type: Journal Article
The potential for integrating aquaculture with agriculture has been widely recognized as a means of improving the use of inputs, diversifying output and economic opportunity, and enabling smallholder producers to maintain ...
Realizing the potential of integrated aquaculture: evidence from Malawi
Type: Book Chapter
In this chapter, the author discusses the Farmer-Scientist Research Partnership (FSRP) approach established in Malawi.
Aquaculture for African smallholders
Type: Report
This volume report is the findings of the ICLARM-BMZ/GTZ Africa Aquaculture Project (1986-1994). This project studied the smallholder farming systems and developed integrated aquaculture technologies in collaboration with ...
Weed control by adult and juvenile tilapia Tilapia rendalli in rainfed ponds
Type: Journal Article
Two studies were conducted in consecutive years over the time period 14 January to 1 July to determine whether labor-savings and fish growth enhancement could be achieved by stocking Tilapia rendalli directly into ponds ...
Seasonality, labor and integration of aquaculture into southern African smallhold farming systems
Type: Journal Article
Fish production on Malawian smallholdings is generally limited by the quantity and quality of inputs to the pond (Brummett and Noble 1995). The timing of labor availability and other farm activities limit the amount farmers ...
Indigenous species for African aquaculture development
Type: Book Chapter
From the history of introductions and the development of successful aquaculture elsewhere, it appears that the use of exotic species to speed up the rate of aquaculture development in Africa is unlikely to be an efficacious ...
Comparison of African tilapia partial harvesting systems
Type: Journal Article
Three typical African partial harvesting systems and an unfished control were compared for gross yield. Fish grew undisturbed on an input regime based on that used by Malawian smallholding farmers for 122 days. Then, for ...
Fry production of Shire River tilapia Oreochromis shiranus at two broodstock sex ratios
Type: Journal Article
Optimal sex ratio in tilapia breeding ponds depends upon stocking density. However, under certain circumstances, altering the male: female sex ratio from a more or less natural 1:1 to 1:2 or even higher has been shown to ...
The context of smallholding integrated aquaculture in Malawi: a case study of SubSaharan Africa
Type: Journal Article
What direction should SubSaharan African agriculture take — industrialized or smallholder agriculture? The author says that a compromise, using the best elements of each, would be best, but in order to develop a strategy, ...
Protocols for the development of indigenous species: polyculture of indigenous species under Malawian smallholder conditions
Type: Journal Article
Shire tilapia, Oreochromis shiranus shiranus (Boulenger 1897), was grown in monoculture and polyculture with either straightfin barb, Barbus paludinosus (Peters 1852), or threespot barb, Barhus trimaculatus (Peters 1852), ...
