Oreochromis shiranus is a Malawi indigenous tilapia fish species. The aim of the study is to characterise the species phenotypically and genotypically within and between wild strains, unimproved and improved cultured strains. Phenotypic characterisation studies will be carried out using whole fish...

Temperature is one of the limiting constraints to increasing fish production in areas where temperatures are below 25°C. In most areas in Malawi temperatures are between 14-24°C (www.atlapedia.com/online/countries/malawi.htm), with the exception of the lakeshore region. In search for a low cost...

The effect of different timing of feed supply to newly hatched larvae of Tilapia rendalli for first exogenous feeding was investigated at Bunda College fish farm, Lilongwe, Malawi, using 1300 larvae from a single batch of eggs that hatched on 6th February 2003. In each of the two experiments, 650...

This paper describes relevant rearing techniques developed by the National Aquaculture Center (NAC) in Malawi for selection of suitable fish species for small-scale aquaculture in the country. Initially, water temperature in the NAC is discussed as fundamental data. Two species of tilapias (i.e., ...
