Dr. Cyrus Rumisha et al (2023) From Department of Animal, Aquaculture and Range Sciences The queen mackerel Scomberomorus plurilineatus has long been an important source of dietary animal protein, household income, and employment to coastal communities in the Western Indian Ocean (WIO) region. Yet, since their market value has increased in recent years, they are […]
By Dr. Muumin et al. (2023) From the Department of Animal, Aquaculture and Range Sciences Photosynthesis and respiration exert strong opposing effects on dissolved gases in earthen ponds. During daylight this provides oxygen to the water while removing carbon dioxide. At night, fish, plankton, and sediment respiration consumes the available O2 and produces CO2. This leads […]
Researchers headed by a team at Brigham and Women’s Hospital have devised a new way to turn cancer cells into potent anticancer agents. Scientists in the lab of Khalid Shah, PhD, developed a cell therapy approach to eliminate established tumors and induce long-term immunity, training the immune system so that it can prevent cancer from […]
Seeds and feeds are among the most important inputs required for sustainable aquaculture industry development in any country worldwide. However, the value chain analysis of seeds and feeds in most developing countries including Tanzania has not been mapped, and the key actors are not identified and characterized. To address this knowledge gap, we mapped the […]
Dr. Reimer Christian (Facilitator): The Department of Animal, Aquaculture and Range Sciences (DAARS) in collaboration with the Institute of Farm Animal Genetics of the Federal Research Institute in Germany, is cordially inviting you to a public lecture that to be held on Monday 19th December 2022 at DAARS Postgraduate Lecture Room, from 10:00 am to […]
By Shija et. al. (2022) From the Department of Animal, Aquaculture and Range Sciences The ability of smallholder dairy farming systems (SHDFS) to achieve desirable lactation-curve characteristics is constrained or reduced by environmental stresses. Under stressful production environments in the tropics, the better lactation-curve characteristics in smallholder dairy farms are a result of improved dairy […]

Scientists led by researchers from the Transmission: Zero team at Imperial College London have engineered mosquitoes that slow the growth of malaria-causing parasites in their guts, and prevent transmission of the disease to humans. The mosquitoes carry a genetic modification that causes them to produce compounds in the gut that stunt the growth of the […]
