Fish consumption in Africa is still low below the FAO recommended levels due to low production of fish
compared to China and other Asian countries and Europe. The consumer food purchasing behavior is
also highly affected ...
Complete replacement of fish meal in the diet of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.) grow-out with alternative protein sources. A review
(KENYA MARINE AND FISHERIES RESEARCH INSTITUTE, 2014)
Tilapia culture is widely practiced in tropical and subtropical regions with an
annual growth rate of 12% thanks to their high growth rate, disease
resistance, and low trophic feeding levels. The increase of aquacultur ...
Culture Trials of Nile Perch Juveniles in Cages and Earthen Ponds
(2019-09)
Fish were obtained from Asembo Bay, Dunga, Kendu Bay, Homa Bay and Mbita beaches around Lake Victoria using beach seines (< 10-mm mesh). Fish were sorted by size and stocked into hapa nets, each measuring 3 m× 3 m× 1 m, ...
Population Biology of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in Lake Naivasha, Kenya
(Wiley, 2020)
The Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) was introduced into Lake Naivasha to provide
exploitable fisheries, being one of the commercially important fish providing livelihoods to communities around the lake. Its stocks ...
Complete mitochondrial genome of the freshwater monogonont rotifer Brachionus rubens (Rotifera, Brachionidae
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)
The two complete mitochondrial genomes were sequenced from the freshwater monogonont rotifer Brachionus rubens. The genome sequences were 12,041bp and 13,793bp in size, and the gene order and contents were identical to ...
Culturing live foods for fish larviculture using non‐microalgal diet: The role of waste‐generated bacteria and selected commercial probiotics—A review
(Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, 2022)
Condensed suspension of live microalga cells, for example, Chlorella vulgaris, Nannochloropsis oculata and Tetraselmis tetrathele is often utilized as diets for mass production of live food resources, that is, rotifers, ...
Biofloc system improves protein utilization efficiency and growth performance of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus fry: Experimental evidence
(John Wiley &Sons Ltd., 2022)
This study evaluated the effect of biofloc technology (BFT) on protein utilization and growth performance of Oreochromis niloticus fry under green house for 14 weeks under a 3 × 2 factorial design involving three crude ...
Promoting Sustainable Smallholder Aquaculture Productivity Through Landscape and Seascape Aquapark Models: A case Study of Busia County, Kenya
(Frontiers, 2022-06)
The dwindling capture fisheries has triggered an increase in Kenya's annual fish demand deficit, currently estimated at 553,000 MT. With the adoption of sustainable policies, aquaculture can bridge and surpass this deficit. ...
Black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) larvae meal improves growth performance, feed utilization, amino acids profile, and economic benefits of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus, L.)
(AQUATIC RESEARCH, 2022-07)
This study investigated the effect of replacing soybean meal (SBM) with black soldier fly larvae meal (BSFLM) on the growth performance, feed utilization, carcass body composition, and amino acids profile of Nile tilapia ...
Ecological implications of Rastrineobola argentea (omena) fishery: A rapid assessment of bycatch diversity at Dunga Beach, Lake Victoria, Kenya
(AfricArXiv, 2022-06)
Rastrineobola argentea (omena) is the second most important species in the fisheries of Lake Victoria after Nile perch. However, its fisheries have negative impacts on the ecology of the lake especially because of the high ...
