An on-Farm Performance Assessment of Aquaculture Production Systems in Nigeria

The survey was implemented to assess on-farm performance of aquaculture fish production systems in Nigeria. The primary sampling unit was aquaculture farming households/farms. 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) Aquaculture experience, change and livelihoods; (4) aquaculture credit and association; (5) food safety and willingness to participate in aquaculture certification; Data on aquaculture production were collected at farm level.

Nigeria: post-farmgate value chain (wholesalers, processors, and retailers) scoping study dataset

Nigeria is the largest fish producer in Sub-Sahara Africa. Fish plays crucial role to support fish producers and post-farm gate value chain actors’ livelihood. Despite the virtues of aquaculture and fisheries sub-sectors to enhance value chain actors livelihood, major gaps exist related to fish value chain efficiencies, including financial performance of post-farmgate actors, gender-disaggregated data on value chain actors, the roles of women and youth in fish trade, and post-farmgate food safety practices.

Replication Data for: Population, temperature and feeding rate effects on individual feed efficiency in European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax)

200 European sea bass from three wild populations, Atlantic , West Mediterranean and East Mediterranean, were reared individually at two temperatures, 18°C and 24°C. Their bodyweight gain and feed intake were measured at six different feeding rates, from ad libitum down to fasting.
