Genotype and Environment (Water Temperature) Interactions on the Growth and Feed Efficiency of the Spotted Babylon Babylonia areolata

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Babylonia areolata is an emerging aquaculture species in China. Feed costs represent 40%–60% of its total production expenses, making feed efficiency a key target for genetic improvement. Water temperature is a major environmental factor in the cultivation of B. areolata, as it varies considerably across seasons, geographic regions and culture

Biosecurity Measures and Practices Relevant to Infectious Disease Management at Fish Farms in Northern Nigeria

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquaculture helps to bridge Nigeria's fish supply deficit and thus contributes to national food security. Southwest Nigeria dominates national aquaculture output, but fish farming in northern Nigeria is expanding. Understanding the infectious disease situation in this burgeoning segment of the sector, including how farmers act to prevent and ...

Market Systems Integration in Zambia's Aquaculture Sector: A Scoping Review of Value Chains, Supply Chains and Sustainability Challenges

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquaculture is increasingly important to food security, nutrition, livelihoods and economic development in Zambia, yet sectoral growth depends on more than production capacity. This scoping review synthesised evidence on Zambia's aquaculture market systems, focusing on value chains, supply chains and persistent evidence gaps.

From drawing board to dining table: the success story of the GIFT project [PDF]

As compared to crops and livestock, the genetic enhancement of fish is in its infancy. While significant progress has been achieved in the genetic improvement of temperate fish such as salmonids, no efforts were made until the late 1980s for the genetic ...

Socio‐Economic and Ecological Drivers of the Spread of Non‐Native Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) Species in Kenya

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is the dominant non‐native fish species in Kenya's inland waters, but its spread reflects a coupled socioecological process rather than a simple biological invasion. This review examines the socio‐economic, governance and ecological drivers of its expansion within a socioecological systems and invasion ...

Effects of Indigenous Probiotic Bacterial Strains (Rossellomorea marisflavi, Micrococcus luteus, and Paucilactobacillus vaccinostercus) on Growth Performance, Survival, and Haematological Parameters of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 5, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Growing demand for sustainable aquaculture has intensified interest in non‐antibiotic strategies to enhance fish growth, health, and productivity. Host‐gut‐adapted indigenous probiotics have been proposed as promising alternatives to non‐native commercial strains, though their efficacy requires systematic evaluation.

More than proteins for empty stomachs: Wild meat in the BaTonga food system

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 10, Page 3298-3310, October 2026.
Abstract Our paper highlights the limitations of the framework used by many conservation‐focused programmes that incorporate food security objectives. This framework encourages the substitution of wild proteins with domestic proteins by promoting animal farming in communities located near conservation areas.

Exploring consumer preferences for wild meat and other animal proteins in Gamba, Gabon: Implications for conservation and management of natural resources alongside extractive industry

People and Nature, Volume 8, Issue 10, Page 3345-3357, October 2026.
Abstract The town of Gamba in southwest Gabon represents an exceptional example of how the development of an extractive industry (in this case oil production) may impact wild meat consumption in an area of global importance for biodiversity. Studies in the 1990s identified an active wild meat trade; however, no studies have been undertaken since, and ...
