Predicting food consumption of fish populations as functions of mortality, food type, morphometrics, temperature and salinity
(1998)Type: Journal ArticleA large data set of relative food-consumption estimates (Q/B) of marine and freshwater fish populations (n = 108 populations, 38 species) is documented and used to derive a predictive model for Q/B, using asymptotic weight, ... -
Aquaculture: the last frontier for sustainable food security?
(1998)Type: Conference PaperFish has become a political commodity, thanks to its increasing scarcity and its high value. Aquaculture offers opportunities as the last frontier for sustaining the contribution of fish to food security. Asia is at the ... -
Growth and survival of the giant clams, Tridacna derasa, T. maxima and T. crocea, at village farms in the Solomon Islands
(1998)Type: Journal ArticleIn this study, the authors report the results of large-scale grow-out trials for T. crocea, T. maxima and T. derasa at 11 sites in the Solomon Islands over 2 years. During these experiments, we evaluated the influence of ... -
Genetic improvement of farmed tilapias: growth performance in a complete diallel cross experiment with eight strains of Oreochromis niloticus
(1998)Type: Journal ArticleA complete diallel cross experiment was carried out with eight strains of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The strains represented four wild populations collected from various locations in Africa and four populations ... -
Manual on genetic improvement of farmed tilapia (GIFT) research methodologies
(1998)Type: ManualGathering and recording of biological data vital to experiments in a genetic improvement program should be carried out with efficiency, precision and accuracy. This is important in order to avoid marking erroneous conclusion ... -

A computer software package for assessing and managing risks posed by experiments with genetically modified fish and shellfish
(1998)Type: Journal ArticleAssessment and management of risk is needed for sustainable use of genetically modified aquatic organisms (aquatic GMOs). A computer software package for safely conducting research with genetically modified fish and shellfish ... -
Can nitrogen pollution from aquaculture be reduced?
(1998)Type: Journal ArticleNitrogen is essential for the normal growth of fish. It is an important ingredient in fish feed but is very expensive. There is evidence that nitrogen loading from feeding and metabolic activities of fish can cause pollution ... -
Preliminary studies of locomotion and burrowing by juvenile boring clam, Tridacna crocea
(1998)Type: Journal ArticlePreliminary experiments in Okinawa, Japan, revealed that survival of juvenile Tridacna crocea depends on the size ofthe pit in which it is placed and its locomotory behavior. Juvenile T. crocea, less than 20 mm in shell ... -
