Postharvest fish losses in Bangladesh remain substantial (about 10% for farmers and 12% for traders), driven by high temperatures, inadequate storage, poor handling practices, and market inefficiencies. Strengthening education and training, improving cooling practices, and enhancing transport and market access can significantly reduce these losses ...

Our findings demonstrate that providing sugar sources reliably supports parasitoid populations and parasitism rate but does not systematically translate into improved pest suppression or yield gains. These results suggest that, for economic and practical reasons, sugar inputs at the edge of cultivated fields should be favoured.

Tilapia polyculture: a global review
Tilapia are the second most farmed fish worldwide and their production has quadrupled over the past decade due to ease of aquaculture, marketability and stable market prices. Tilapia aquaculture must adopt sustainable practices (such as polyculture) for continuing increased production and improved sustainability.

ABSTRACT Infectious spleen and kidney necrosis virus (ISKNV) is a significant threat to global aquatic food security by causing large‐scale mortality in the aquaculture of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi). ISKNV is a genogroup of Megalocytivirus pagrus1, along with RSIV and TRBIV, and their recent listing as WOAH ...
