Replication Data for: Benefits of stocking white spot syndrome virus infection free shrimp (Penaeus monodon) post larvae in extensive ghers of Bangladesh

Shrimp farming is an important income generating activity for hundreds of thousands of small scale farmers operating extensive ghers in Bangladesh. White spot syndrome virus (WSSV) has caused major shrimp production losses globally including Bangladesh. This study investigated the benefits of stocking WSSV infection free (WSSVF) Penaeus monodon post larvae (PL) to extensive gher holders of southwest Bangladesh and considered different parameters of the farming system.

Replication Data for: Comparison of Technical and Economic Performance of Fresh and Salted Fish Processors in Lake Nasser

The current study aims to compare the technical and economic performance of salted and fresh fish processing associated with Lake Nasser fisheries.
