This dataset collected qualitative dietary information, with a focus on fish, from over 700 households across nine states in Nigeria. Household members interviewed included men, women, and the caretaker of a child under two.

Aim: Variations in catch per unit effort (CPUE) of hilsa (Tenualosa ilisha ) at different habitats (sanctuaries) of Bangladesh waters were observed to understand whether CPUE variations were due to differences in habitat complexity, environmental factors or both. Methodology: CPUE of hilsa data were collected from five different habitats in Bangladesh waters between July 2015 and June 2016. Various physico-chemical parameters were measured monthly and then examined for any relationship to CPUE.

WorldFish initiated a selective breeding program in Abbassa—Egypt to develop and produce the genetically improved Nile tilapia strain known as “Genetically Improved Abbassa Nile tilapia (GIANT)”, adopting the same technology used for the Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT), in Asia. WorldFish provided the Ninth Generation (G9) broodstock of the GIANT to 11 Broodstock Multiplication Centers (BMC’s) in five governorates; these centres then disseminated improved mixed‐sex fry to 160 tilapia hatcheries which supplied all‐male fry to 1,500 fish farms in 2017.

Black spot disease (diplopstomiasis), an external melanized host inflammatory response caused by a number of digenetic trematode parasites, results in slow growth, deformities and increased mortality among many freshwater fish species globally. We investigated the severity of infection, and genetic parameters for black spot disease among 150 families of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) of the Abbassa strain in ponds in Egypt.

The performance of GIFT in various contexts has been demonstrated through on-station and on-farm evaluations. Evidence indicates that adoption of GIFT can increase fish yields hence economic returns for farmers; increase survival rate, shorten harvest time and increase individual harvesting weight; reduce production and operational costs; and reduce local fish market prices improving affordability among consumers.

The smallholder fish farmer population census data was collected from 1,161 farmers in four districts of Northern Province of Zambia. A structured questionnaire was administered to the respondents and responses were recorded on an android device (smart phone), and sent to server owned by Musika, the project partner. Data was collected from October 2018 to March 2019. The study was undertaken by the Technical, Vocational and Entrepreneurship Training for Improved Private Sector and Smallholder Skills Project in Zambia with support from NORAD.
