The status of research on Lake Victoria fisheries: Historical and current data on fisheries and the lake environment
(AfricArXiv, 2019)
Lake Victoria which is the second largest freshwater lake in the world supports a large
population living around it through provision of food; fish and employment; both directly and
indirectly. Due to its varied uses, ...
Complete mitochondrial genome of the freshwater monogonont rotifer Brachionus rubens (Rotifera, Brachionidae)
(Informa Uk Limited, trading as Taylor & Francil Group, 2019-12-10)
The two complete mitochondrial genomes were sequenced from the freshwater monogonont rotifer Brachionus rubens. The genome sequences were 12,041 bp and 13,793 bp in size, and the gene order and contents were identical to ...
Substitution of fish meal with sunflower seed meal in diets for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.) reared in earthen ponds
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-01-02)
This study investigated sunflower seed meal (SSM) as dietary protein replacement of fish meal (FM) for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) juveniles (initial mean weight of 19.8 ± 6.3 g) reared in earthen ponds for 210 ...
An overview of current status of Kenyan fish feed industry and feed management practices, challenges and opportunities
(Kenya Marine & Fisheries Research Institute, National Aquaculture Research Development & Training Center (NARDTC, 2014)
The profitability of commercial fish farming operation is of paramount importance to all farmers. However,
farmers must have access to well-balanced and cost effective feeds coupled with optimal on-farm feed
management ...
Utilization of the earthworm, Eisenia fetida (Savigny, 1826) as an alternative protein source in fish feeds processing
(Aquaculture Research Wiley, 2018-11-27)
Use of fish meal in aquaculture is gradually becoming unsustainable due to com‐
petition, cost and ecological challenges hence the need to expand the alternative
protein sources. The earthworm, Eisenia fetida is among ...
Lifetable demography and population growth of the rotifer Brachionus angularis in Kenya: influence of temperature and food density
(Taylor & Francis, 2016-08-19)
Lifetable demography and reproductive traits of a Kenyan strain of the rotifer Brachionus angularis were investigated using individual and small batch culture approaches. The rotifer was identified morphologically before ...
In vitro organic matter disappearance of tanniferous browse using rumen liquid from goats ingesting grass versus browse
(Taylor & Francis, 2013-12-01)
In vitro organic matter disappearance (IVOMD) of African browse species often indicates
artificially low nutritive value due to the presence of condensed tannins (CT). Diet of the
rumen liquor donor may change this if ...
Effects of chicken manure extract on the population growth, mixis induction and body size of the freshwater rotifer Brachionus angularis Gosse 1851
(Asian Fisheries Society, 2015-12-31)
This study investigated the effects of chicken manure extract (CME) on the population growth, mixis induction and body size of the freshwater rotifer Brachionus angularis Gosse 1851. Four concentrations of CME (i.e.0.5, ...
Growth response of rotifers on a bacterial-based diet made from fishwastes
(IOP Publishing, 2019-07)
Fishwastes are potential low-cost diet sources for replacing microalgae, which is the popular diet for rotifers. Growth responses of rotifer were tested under different weights of the diet (i.e. 0.05, 0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 g/L), ...
BLENDING FISHWASTES AND CHICKEN MANURE EXTRACT AS A LOW-COST AND STABLE DIET FOR PLANKTONIC LIVE FOOD PRODUCTION
(Ghent University, Belgium, 2017)
The global increase of aquaculture has expanded the demand for the zooplankton as live foods for larviculture. Although freshly cultured microalgae is the common diet for zooplankton, microalgal culture protocols are ...
