This book aims to provide the fisheries manager with tools and
innovative solutions to achieve the main task of balancing the
pressure on the fish stocks and fishing zones. By bringing
stakeholders together to share experiences, learn together and
contribute to decision making processes and everyone see his point
of view reflected in the policy. Also, this book deals with
fisheries governance and fisheries management. Discuss challenges
that fisheries governance face and explore ways to strengthen
fisheries governance. The book provides insights and skills to
bring stakeholders in the fisheries system and help them understand
each other's perspectives, manage their conflicts and learn
together. The book materials are interactive and readers will
practice a range of participatory tools and methodologies in a
real-life case. The readers will finally able to apply the concepts
learned by presenting an action plan for their own professional
situation. Finally, the readers will know about fisheries
governance and co-management concepts, challenges faced in
governance and management.
The objective of this Book is to estimate the potential for
freshwater fish farming (Tilapia, Catfish, Eels, Crap and Salmon)
in order to stimulate improved planning for aquaculture development
and to provide a tool to plan comprehensively for technical
assistance in fish farming activities. Development of aquaculture
holds the most promise for improving food security through
increasing the supply of fish. Also, focus on Pond construction,
pen farming, production of fish fry and management.
Studies of genetic variation within and among species of penaeid
shrimp in nature are of interest to culturists. They provide
information about genetic differences among potential founder
populations for initiation of aquaculture stocks. In aquaculture,
the application of genetic techniques provides opportunities to
maximize the benefits of selective breeding, develop new strains of
species, including hybrids, maintain genetic vigor in farmed stocks
and provide an early warning system for possible undesired
inbreeding, explore the potential of genetically enhanced traits
such as improved growth rates and disease resistance.
This book covers some important methods for the analysis of
micro-array data and QTL. It is also considered important that
readers learn to read and understand the relevant literature,
because it is a fast moving subject field. R and Bioconductor used
in this book. The student can explore the dependencies and the
structure in a large multivariate data set, and can apply the
multivariate methods correctly. The reader can also analyze
micro-arrays and he/she known the basics of QTL, linkage analysis
and association studies. The reader is able to read and understand
the relevant literature. Multivariate data analysis is basically a
collection of many statistical methods that are applicable to large
and/or high dimensional data sets. All methods that are covered in
this book, are often applied in industry and research institutions.
Two strains of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, were developed
through mass and pedigreed selection techniques. Performance of the
mass-selected line has been tested against a control and commercial
lines used by the farmers. On station testing indicated an
improvement of 35% over the control, the base population, from
which the selected O. niloticus stock was developed. In an initial
farm trial, the improved O. niloticus stock performed 51% better
than the commercial line that is regularly distributed by a
commercial hatchery to the local farmers. Additional farm testing
of the mass-selected line is still in progress. The mass-selected
line is currently being evaluated against the pedigree selected
line. The best candidates will be identified and used in the
pedigree selection program.
This book takes a fundamental, biophysical approach toward animal
physiology. Shows the progressive changes, modifications, and
developments of physiological systems from simple to complex
animals. Comparisons show the similarities and differences in how
animals function, but stress fundamentally similar adaptations in
very different animals. Also, provide comparative physiology of
animals, in a strongly environmental context. It provides full
analysis of the basic principles of physiological adaptations, in
both vertebrates and invertebrates and how they allow integration
with the environment, detailed and integrated reviews of how
animals sense, react to and cope with particular environments - the
marine and freshwater worlds, the particularly challenging seashore
and estuarine zones, the different kinds of terrestrial habitat,
and the parasitic environment. Integrated with ecological
principles and with behavioural responses used by animals in coping
with environmental challenges. This book provides a stand-alone
core text for undergraduate and graduate courses in comparative
physiology, animal physiology, or environmental physiology and
environmental biology.
From the practical work and applied research work in the field of
marine shrimp farming, this Standard Operating Procedure (S.O.P)
was developed. This S.O.P. documents actual procedures being used
at the time of its production. It will be used both as a guide for
current hatchery and farm operations and as a tool to allow the
identification of areas where improvements can be made. These
improvements will gradually be incorporated into the updated S.O.P.
All Hatchery and farm division staff should read and understand
this S.O.P.It is hoped that this S.O.P will partly help solve the
problems encountered in shrimp farming and contribute towards
better marine shrimp management and a more sustainable farming
industry.
Information on the genetic structure of economically important fish
species is essential for fisheries management and fish farming. DNA
markers used in this study was successful in estimating genetic
variation and species differentiation in four species of Egyptian
tilapia and are of potential use in tilapia breeding programs. DNA
profiles generated in each species of tilapia were unique. Genetic
improvement of animals is limited by the fact that most traits of
economically importance are polygenic in nature and are influenced
by a variety of environmental and genetic factors. These markers
can be used in monitoring QTL loci during selection programs.
Markers linked to simple commercially important genetic traits such
as disease resistance genes can also be identified from natural
resources and introgressed into domestic strains. This study can be
used as a baseline study for researcher and fish breeders who are
interested in evaluating tilapia genetic resources and its
potential use in developing selective breeding programs.
