Quantitative survey data were collected through personal interviews with aquaculture producers. In order for an integrated performance analysis to be conducted, the data collected must capture the different aspects of fish farming and the livelihoods of the farmers. In addition to the technical performance of the fish operation, a series of other socioeconomic indicators, such as food security and women involvement in the livelihood activities of fish farming were considered.

The survey was implemented to assess on-farm performance of the genetically improved farmed tilapia in Bangladesh. The primary sampling unit was tilapia aquaculture producers. The survey comprised the following modules: (1) farmer characteristics; (2) aquaculture production and marketing activities including input use and cost as well as output harvested and sold; (3) social networks; (4) access to information and financial services; (5) participation in farmer groups; and (6) risk preference and behaviour; and (7) assets ownership.

Quantitative data about farmer behaviours. The data s used totest the role of farmer clusters in accessing different sources of knowledge and the trust associated with each of the knowledge sources.

Data from interviews and focus groups conducted in 2 communities in Timor-Leste (Biacou and Adara) to support the published article in Frontiers in Marine Science (Evaluating the Fit of Co-management for Small-Scale Fisheries Governance in Timor-Leste). Respondents were asked about their livelihood activities, crops, livestock, fisheries, marine resources, fish aggregating devices and co-management approaches, specifically locally relevant traditional practices “tara bandu”

With rapidly increasing investment in water control infrastructure (WCI) and a recently ratified agriculture development strategy that promotes integrated farming of high-value products such as fish, agricultural production, already fundamental to Myanmar’s economy, will be central to driving the countries’ socioeconomic transformation. Water planners and managers have a unique opportunity to design and manage WCI to incorporate fish and, in so doing, reduce conflicts and optimise the benefits to both people and the ecosystem services upon which they depend.

Multilateral consensus forged among heads of states must be value-additive and relevant at the national level to facilitate on-ground implementation. Yet, despite general optimism and advances in policy understanding, multi-scale diffusion remains a challenge with little certainty in outcomes. This study focuses on examining intermediary dynamics occurring within national policy apparatus that can influence domestic uptake of policy innovation.

Saprolegniosis is a worldwide fungal-like infection affecting freshwater fishes and their eggs. Reports show high mortalities and subsequent economic losses annually from Saprolegnia infections. Most therapeutants against Saprolegnia spp. infections are inefficient and some have negative impact on the environment. In this study, we have investigated the ability of boric acid (BA) to prevent Saprolegniainfection in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). BA inhibited radial growth of Saprolegnia hyphae in vitro. Complete in vitro growth inhibition was found at a concentration of ≥0.6 g/L.

A fishers’ women-led Participatory Action Research (PAR) was conducted in 30 homestead ponds to assess the potential for polyculture of Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and major carps Rohu (Labeo rohita) and Catla (Catla catla) in two coastal fishing villages of Bangladesh. Three treatments, namely T1 (Tilapia 200 fish per decimal; 1 decimal=40 m2), T2 (Tilapia 200+ Rohu 32+ Catla 8 fish per decimal) and T3 (Tilapia 200+ Rohu 8+ Catla 32 fish per decimal), each with 5 replicates, were tried in Hossainpur and Anipara villages.
