Occurrence of Ectoparasites on Tilapia zillii (Red Belly Tilapia) Gervais 1848 in The Tono Reservoir, Navrongo, Ghana

This study was carried out to assess the occurrence of endoparasites in (Tilapia zillii (Gervais, 1848)) from Tono reservoir, Navrongo Ghana. A total of 120 fish samples were collected from the upstream, midstream and downstream regions of the reservoir using cast nets. All the collected fish samples were transported to the research laboratory in the University for Development Studies and examined for ectoparasites during January 2022 to August 2022. Five ectoparasites namely Trichodina sp. of Protozoans ciliates, Dactyolgyrus sp. of Monogenean, Argulus sp. and Lernaea sp. of Crustaceans and the Diplostomum sp were identified. Overall prevalence of the fish parasites was 52.32 %. Intensity of the parasites observed ranged between 1.58% to 3.52%. Highest prevalence 70 % was reported in dry season while lowest (31.67%) was reported in the rainy season. Female fish samples had higher prevalence (64.47 %) than males (27.27 %). Fishes of downstream had highest prevalence (92.5 %) than upstream (17.5 %). Fish samples with maximum length and weight were highly (65.15 %) infected than small sized fish with low body length and weight (33.33 %). It is debatable if the degree of ectoparasite activity found in this study will constitute a serious danger to the local fish population. Yet, in order to stop disease outbreaks brought on by an increase in ectoparasites, the reservoir must be given significant attention by using optimum management strategies. This study shows that dry season affects the fish business and result in poor quality fish meat with risk of diseases infection.

Response to Fishing Decisions and Changes in Fishing Income during Extreme Weather: A Behavioural Economy Study of Small-Scale Coastal Fisher Households

Graphical AbstractHighlight Research1. Decision response of fishermen to fish 2. Changes in fishing income 3. Extreme weather caused by climate change 4. Economic behavior of fishing households. Abstract Extreme weather, attributed to global climate change, has altered the economic behaviour of small-scale fishing households in coastal areas. This study aims to analyse the economic behaviour of fishermen by investigating their fishing decisions using a logistic regression model using the maximum likelihood estimation method and their fishing business income through a normalized profit function. The research employed a quantitative research method with a survey approach conducted in the western coastal region of Barru Regency, Indonesia. The research sample consisted of 209 fishing households. The findings reveal that fishermen fish during extreme weather conditions to meet their household's economic needs, even though their earnings are diminished. Various factors, including the power of the boat engine, fishermen's age and education level, and the potential income from fishing, influence the decision to fish during extreme weather. Additionally, engine fuel prices, education levels, and the number of dependents in the family also impact fishers' income during extreme weather. The most important factor influencing the decision to fish in extreme weather conditions is formal education. Another factor that has the greatest impact on fishermen's income, both in the fishing season and during extreme weather, is the price of engine fuel. Fishermen can adapt to events triggered by extreme weather by implementing specific strategies. For instance, diversifying income by aquaculture production can be an alternative to sea fishing. Diversifying the types of fishing gear to accommodate different weather conditions is equally crucial. Fishing periods and locations can be adjusted to align with prevailing weather conditions. The contribution and significance of this research is to provide insight and understanding of the impact of extreme weather on fishing decisions and changes in the income of capture fishermen. This condition is the economic behaviour of small-scale fishing households in coastal areas when faced with extreme weather events.

Societal perceptions of aquaculture: Combining scoping review and media analysis

AbstractAquaculture has been recognised for achieving multiple United Nations Sustainable Development Goals; its further growth depends on understanding, and responding to, societal perceptions in a broader context. Thus, this study aims to understand societal perceptions of aquaculture through a scoping review and media analysis. A scoping review identified 151 academic studies for inclusion in our five identified research clusters: (1) social acceptability, (2) growth and development, (3) media coverage, (4) sustainable aquaculture, and (5) consumer perceptions. Further, newspaper articles (n = 100) were sampled from the United Kingdom, Denmark, France, Spain, Turkey, and China; elsewhere all articles identified were included (Poland, 79; Hungary, 29; India, 70). The findings suggest that scientific and newspaper articles tend to present sustainability aspects in a simplified form. Key stakeholder groups include fish farming enterprises, civil society, governmental officials, scientists, and business leaders both within aquaculture value chains (retailers/wholesalers, technology industry) and outside of them (fisheries, tourism). Also, other stakeholders included the public (indigenous groups, residents, consumers). The stakeholder groups perceived aquaculture differently and depending on the circumstances and context, their perceptions ranged from positive to negative. Many factors influenced their perceptions, including aquaculture's impact on multiple sustainability dimensions, knowledge, transparency, personal interests, types, and location of aquaculture practises, regulations, experience, and sociodemographic characteristics such as age, gender, education, and income. We recommend that aquaculture practitioners focus on context‐specific multifaceted strategies—prioritising transparency, communication, and accountability—and provide essential knowledge to ensure that societal perceptions of aquaculture are based on accurate, empirical information.

Internet of Thing untuk Memantau Sistem Kelistrikkan Pembudidaya Ikan Hias

The Pondakan Alam Sari ornamental fish cultivator group has approximately 50 types of ornamental fish cultivated for domestic and foreign commodities. Market demand for ornamental fish tends to increase yearly, but the market wants stable prices. This price stability is a dilemma for ornamental fish cultivator groups. One of the determinants of the selling price of ornamental fish is operational costs, especially electricity costs. The increase in basic electricity tariffs causes operational costs to increase. Electricity is used to power the circulating water pump 24 hours non-stop daily. This circulating water pump is very important for producing oxygen in the water. If there is no oxygen in the water, ornamental fish will die. To reduce operational electricity costs, the community service team built a DC electricity system sourced from solar energy so that the circulating water pump source no longer uses PLN electricity. This community service program aims to reduce operational electricity costs by building a DC electricity system sourced from solar energy and an IoT-based monitoring process. The implementation method consists of two stages: (1) building physical capital through a solar energy electricity source and DC pump installation and (2) creating a DC electrical parameter monitoring system with the Blynk IoT platform. The evaluation technique was carried out by comparing planning with the progress of implementing activities. The results and implications of activities include the availability of DC electricity sources from renewable energy, namely solar cells with a power of 960 WP, installing 10 DC pumps, and an IoT-based DC electrical parameter monitoring system. Operational costs in managing an ornamental fish business can be reduced by 46% from before using renewable and IoT-based energy. This result will certainly increase the profit margin of ornamental fish farming.

Economic Vulnerability of Coastal Households in Southern Tamilnadu

India is the world's largest fish employer and a leader in the fish business, according to statistics on fisheries and aquaculture. Regrettably this industry is largely affected by the change in the nature and one among it is climate changes. The effects of this climatic change manifest in the form of extreme weather events with varying frequency and intensity and due to which the sea level is increasing by the end of 21st century. The lives of coastal communities are also made more difficult by the increase in cyclones, storm surges, and coastal floods as well as the decrease in ocean fish catch brought on by human-caused climate change. Tamil Nadu is one of the top fish producing States located on the southern coast of India. In 2019 Tamilnadu produces 3.56 million metric tons of marine fish up 2.1% year on year. Tamil Nadu recorded 21 fishing villages in Thoothukudi district while the district’s revenue and administrative boundaries mention 24 fishing villages or hamlets in six coastal taluks. A structured questionnaire was administered and the respondents were personally contacted upon getting receiving assistance from the religious and community leaders. Employing random sampling, 689 samples from 24 coastal villages in Thoothukudi District. Economic Vulnerability Index (EVI) was measured with three different constructs namely; Exposure, Sensitivity, and Adaptive Capacity for each taluks. During the lean period, extreme weather conditions and climate change, the traditional fishing communities are also forced to adopt alternate livelihoods to satisfy their needs and the economic development of the country. The findings of the study show that the extreme weather conditions make costal households more vulnerable and lead to financial loss to the economically backward people. Out of six taluks Tiruchendur and Srivaikundam region people are more vulnerable due to the high degree of dependency on fishing and fishing- related economic activities.
