Sharing expertise with Zambia

Capacity building is a key crosscutting activity for the FISH CRP. WorldFish recently hosted three Zambian fish scientists at FISH research sites in Malaysia and Bangladesh to develop their technical skills in fish genetic improvement. Currently working at the National Aquaculture Research and...

Small-scale aquaculture improves the lives of farmers in Myanmar

In Myanmar, the fast-growing aquaculture sector has huge potential to improve the lives of rural households, which make up 70 percent of the population and depend largely on low-yielding agriculture for their livelihoods (FAO 2015). Research by the Livelihood and Food Security Trust Fund ( LIFT )...
