Impact of Socio‐Demographic Factors and Handling Practices on Post‐Harvest Fish Losses in Kakamega County's Cultured Tilapia Value Chain (2025)

ABSTRACT Post‐harvest fish losses (PHFL) significantly impact the aquaculture sector in Kenya, undermining food security and economic growth. This study investigated socio‐demographic factors and handling practices influencing PHFL in Kakamega County's cultured tilapia value chain. Data were collected from 94 value chain actors operating across multiple nodes, including farming, processing and retail stages from six sub‐counties using surveys and observatio

EFFECT OF WONDERFUL KOLA SEED MEAL (Buccholzia coriacea) ON GROWTH, MASCULINIZING POTENCY AND GONAD GROSS MORPHOLOGY OF THE NILE TILAPIA (Oreochromis niloticus, LINNAEUS 1758) (2019)

This study was aimed to investigate the effect of Buchholcia coriacea on the masculinization of Oreochromis niloticus. Five days old mixed sex of O. niloticus (mean weight 0.2g, mean length 0.45mm) were subjected to powdered B. coriacea seeds meal (BSM) at 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10g/kg twice daily for 1 month in an indoor experimental plastic basin capacity (50cm in diameter and 30cm deep) in duplicates with a total of six treatments in a complete randomized design. After which there were later fed with

Fish seed quality in Bangladesh. (2021)

Abstract Genetic and non-genetic aspects of seed quality are discussed. A system of seed production for Indian major carps and Chinese carps, which require sophisticated hatchery facilities, has been established in the country. However, there is concern about deterioration of the quality of broodstock in current hatchery management. Self-recruiting species like tilapia, common carp and silver barb can be bred in decentralized systems but the absence of a regular supply of quality broodst

Assessing silver nanoparticle and antimicrobial combinations for antibacterial activity and biofilm prevention on surgical sutures (2024)

Abstract Aims To evaluate the effect of silver nanoparticles alone and in combination with Triclosan, and trans-cinnamaldehyde against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli biofilms on sutures to improve patients’ outcomes. Methods and results Silver nanoparticles were prepared by chemical method and characterized by UV–visible spectrophotometer and dynamic light scatterin

High-speed observation of bending fracture process of carbon fiber reinforced plastic composite/Nomex™ honeycomb sandwich panel (2021)

Failure mechanism of sandwich panels is very complicated. The objective of this study is to demonstrate the usefulness of high-speed observation to elucidate the failure mechanism of sandwich panels. Failure processes of carbon fiber reinforced plastic composite/Nomex™ honeycomb sandwich panels were observed using two synchronized high-speed cameras with an 8 µs frame rate. The sandwich panel was subjected to a four-point bending load in accordance with ASTM-D7249. Digital image correlation was
