Book Description
Fish is crucial to food and nutrition security in Solomon Islands, and demand is expected to increase due to a growing population. However, it is projected that current capture fisheries production will not meet this growing demand. Aquaculture has the potential to mitigate the capture fishery shortfall, and the Government of Solomon Islands is prioritizing aquaculture as a solution to meet future food and income needs. Aquaculture in Solomon Islands is still in early development. Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) is farmed for household consumption, but its prolific reproductive rate and resulting slow growth limit its potential as a commercial aquaculture species. More productive fish species that are not indigenous to Solomon Islands but are successfully farmed overseas could be introduced; however, such a decision needs to take into account the potential ecological or social impacts. For land-based pond aquaculture, the only indigenous species that has been farmed extensively elsewhere is milkfish (Chanos chanos). This report presents a feasibility assessment for milkfish farming in Solomon Islands. It synthesizes the current knowledge about milkfish farming and presents results of a 4-year study on the potential for milkfish aquaculture in Solomon Islands.

Strengthening small aquaculture entrepreneurs: the case of a women's association in the Philippines
Author: Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations
Publisher: Food & Agriculture Org.
ISBN: 9251315442
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 40
Book Description
Carried out in September–November 2017, this case study of the Binmaley Rural Improvement Club (BRIC) illustrates the process of building organized producers’ capacity to access markets or create a market for, and actively participate in the value chain of their products. It describes the relations of the association with the value chain actors that have a direct role in their farming and processing enterprises and the agencies that have provided assistance. The aim is to identify the factors that have enabled the small aquaculture producers’ organization to become an effective actor in the value chain of their products. The case describes the history of the association and its organizational features. Special attention is given to the development of their processing venture from a few simple products to a variety of higher value product forms, and the evolution of their marketing strategy.

Applications of Biotechnology in Traditional Fermented Foods
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309046858
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 208
Book Description
In developing countries, traditional fermentation serves many purposes. It can improve the taste of an otherwise bland food, enhance the digestibility of a food that is difficult to assimilate, preserve food from degradation by noxious organisms, and increase nutritional value through the synthesis of essential amino acids and vitamins. Although "fermented food" has a vaguely distasteful ring, bread, wine, cheese, and yogurt are all familiar fermented foods. Less familiar are gari, ogi, idli, ugba, and other relatively unstudied but important foods in some African and Asian countries. This book reports on current research to improve the safety and nutrition of these foods through an elucidation of the microorganisms and mechanisms involved in their production. Also included are recommendations for needed research.

Rural Aquaculture
Author: Peter Edwards
Publisher: CABI
ISBN: 9780851995656
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 382
Book Description
Aquaculture for both finfish and shellfish is expanding rapidly throughout the world. It is regarded as having the potential to provide a valuable source of protein in less developed countries and to be integrated into the farming systems and livelihoods of the rural poor. This book addresses key issues in aquaculture and rural development, with case studies drawn from several countries in South and South-East Asia. Papers included cover topics ranging from production and technical issues (such as pond culture and rice field fisheries) to social aspects and research and development methodology. The book has been developed from a meeting of the Asian Fisheries Society. It is aimed at all concerned with aquaculture and rural development.
