This technical paper provides a comprehensive review of on-farm feeding and feed management practices in aquaculture. It comprises of (a) ten case studies on feeding and feed management practices carried out in seven selected countries of Asia and Africa for eight species that belong to four major...

Aquaculture production reached some 79 million tonnes in 2010. During the period from 1998-2010, production from feed-dependent aquaculture increased more than twofold from 20 to 45 million tonnes, largely through intensification. The use of exotics with established technologies such as tilapias,...

This proceedings contains 32 papers covering aquaculture, fisheries, fish diseases, effect of environmental pollution on fish, fish feeding and conservation. The first 7 papers discuss the culture, transport and feeding of Clarias gariepinus, Oreochromis niloticus, Benthosema pterotum, Penaeus...

Background: Most aquatic biota's reproductive biology and life cycle are essential to the sustainable management and development of coastal ecosystems and aquaculture. The bivalve Paphia textile (Gmelin 1791), also known as Paratapes textilis, has an economic value in Indo-Pacific waters, including ...

In Africa, nearly 10 million people depend on fishing, fish farming, fish processing and trading fish. Fishing produces 7.3 million tonnes of fish per year, more than 90% of it caught by small-scale fishermen. Fish provides the main source of protein for the majority of Africans, and yet fish...

Shrimp industry is one of the fastest growing marine aquaculture sectors in the world nowadays, but has been accompanied by increasing concerns over environmental impacts. The development of shrimp culture in several countries has affected coastal environments through the release of the effluents...

As capture fisheries are now fully exploited in Egypt, aquaculture is considered the only source for meeting the demand of seafood for rapidly growing populations in Egypt. To meet these demands for seafood, aquaculture has to grow fast and to be more intensive. Fishmeal sources from capture...

Earthen pond rearing system is the most prevalent type of aquaculture facilities in Egypt due to low construction costs. Such facilities are characterized by open nature which allows large numbers of imposing factors to interact with cultured fishes during the production cycle. Aquatic invasive...

In this paper, the author discusses the opportunities for aquaculture in the Arab states (Egypt, Sudan, Iraq, and Syria) as well as challenges in species selection and production methods.

Despite continuing worldwide expansion in production and demand, recent performance in the aquaculture sector in Egypt has been volatile, and yield has reduced. The most significant and visible problems arise from parasitic diseases and predation by birds. In this study, we examine the impact of...
