WorldFish

🇮🇳 Big numbers. Real people. Lasting change. WorldFish has been working across India to transform aquaculture and fisheries—and the impact is growing. WorldFish focuses on scaling what works, and where it matters most. 🎥 Watch our journey on the ground: youtube.com/watch?v=8tLYXk… #AquaticFoods #FoodSystems #BlueEconomy #Aquaculture #FoodSecurity #NutritionSecurity #Livelihoods #ClimateChange #SharedProsperity #India #SPARK

You can't manage what you don't measure 🐟 The WorldFish Mekong Fisheries Conservation team just wrapped training for partners & community members across the Lower Mekong and Tonle Sap—building skills in fish ecology, catch monitoring & data collection. Together, they explored fish ecology, learned how to use catch monitoring tools, and built practical skills in data collection to support better, more sustainable fisheries management. #AquaticFoods #FoodSystems #BlueEconomy #Aquaculture #FoodSecurity #NutritionSecurity #Livelihoods #ClimateChange #SharedProsperity #Mekong #Cambodia

🌊 2.4M people in Mozambique depend on coastal fisheries — but are incentives strong enough to protect them? A new policy brief with @IIED says the legal foundations are solid, but governance gaps are holding communities back. 📄 Read the full brief worldfishcenter.org/publication/st… @UKinMozambique #AABS #ClimateSmart #AquaticFoods #FoodSystems #BlueEconomy #Aquaculture #Mozambique

🐟 28 years in India. 10M+ mola hatchlings distributed. ~20,000 women's groups in aquaculture. 48% income increase for fish-farming women. This is @WorldFish's India impact—and we are sharing more on our journey. 🎬 Watch the video.

🦐 Rice AND prawns? 30+ stakeholders validated the Rice–Freshwater Prawn Manual in Phnom Penh — a key milestone for scaling regenerative agriculture across ASEAN. Insights show: ✔️ Higher returns vs mono-rice ✔️ Reduced chemical use ✔️ Healthier ecosystems Read more: worldfishcenter.org/blog/monocultu… #AgriFoodSystems #ASEAN #Sustainability #SustainableFarming #Aquaculture #Cambodia #FoodSecurity #AquaticFoods

📋 We need your input! 🐟 School meals can be a powerful driver of food system transformation — and aquatic foods deserve a seat at the table. Help shape the evidence. Take this short survey on aquatic foods in school meal programs 👇 on.cgiar.org/4c7tgPs This research is led by the Institute of Marine Research (IMR), FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Division, and partners. All responses are confidential and used solely for research purposes.

🌊 Can we actually reverse the damage to our oceans and aquatic food systems? #AABS says yes — and they're proving it across Asia and Africa. 🎥 Watch the full video to understand the scale of the challenge: on.cgiar.org/4bKdxWb 🌐 Explore more videos on AABS: on.cgiar.org/4t6GDpQ Funded by UK International Development under the Blue Planet Fund, AABS aims to leverage South–South collaboration to deliver a triple win for nature, people and climate.

🌾Feed can make up to 70% of fish farming costs—making it the biggest barrier for small-scale farmers across Sub-Saharan Africa. WorldFish is changing that by working directly with local feed millers, who are already embedded in farming communities to turn cutting-edge research into affordable, accessible products on the ground. 🐠 📖 Learn more: worldfishcenter.org/blog/turning-f… #AquaticFoods #FoodSystems #BlueEconomy #Aquaculture #FoodSecurity #NutritionSecurity #Livelihoods #ClimateChange #SharedProsperity #Africa

🚨 News: WorldFish has launched WorldFish Ventures — a new platform to mobilize capital and scale aquatic food innovations across Africa, Asia and beyond. We've launched WorldFish Ventures—a new commercial subsidiary designed to scale aquatic food innovations through market-based approaches and strategic partnerships. As WorldFish's Director General Essam Yassin Mohammed puts it, "Scientific breakthroughs only achieve their full value when they reach scale." WorldFish Ventures is how we take those breakthroughs further — faster. 🔗 Read the full announcement: worldfishcenter.org/press-release/…

🌾 When climate shocks hit, resilient farmers stand strong Across Odisha, India, fish farming communities are facing growing threats from extreme weather, erratic monsoons, and rising temperatures. But with the right support, they're not just surviving — they're thriving. WorldFish's OIIPCRA project (Odisha Integrated Irrigation Project for Climate Resilient Agriculture) is transforming how smallholder aquaculture farmers adapt to a changing climate. 📖 Read the full publication: worldfishcenter.org/publication/cl… #ClimateResilience #Aquaculture #OIIPCRA #Odisha #India #FoodSystems #ClimateAdaptation #BlueEconomy #WorldFish #SustainableDevelopment

+25% profit. Same pond. Smarter fish. 🐟 WorldFish's improved carp varieties are transforming Bangladesh's polyculture ponds — giving smallholder farmers a real income boost without extra land or resources. 💧Read more: worldfishcenter.org/press-release/… #AquaticFoods #FoodSystems #BlueEconomy #Aquaculture #FoodSecurity #NutritionSecurity #Livelihoods #ClimateChange #SharedProsperity #Bangladesh #rohu

📸 From the workshop floor in Dhaka Over 60 participants came together this week through the Asia–Africa BlueTech Superhighway (AABS) to share, learn and exchange ideas on Integrated Multitrophic Aquaculture (IMTA). Early results from Khulna and Cox’s Bazar are already showing promising progress. With support from @UKinBangladesh

🐠 Farming smarter in Kenya: Integrated Multitrophic Aquaculture (IMTA) can return up to $7 for every $1 invested. One species' waste is another's food. New brief breaks down the economics.

🐟 Years of feed research. One practical question: how do farmers actually use it? The FASA project's answer: a digital feed formulation tool — built for fish farmers in Nigeria, Zambia & Kenya, designed to work in the real world. The app backend is already in development. 18 months to deliver. With @noradno, @CORAFNews, @IITA_CGIAR, @icipe, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) 📖 Read more about it: worldfishcenter.org/updates/fasa-p…

🐟🌿A meaningful close to a three-year journey for AABS Nigeria After three years of science, a milestone reached on 16 March 2026. The Asia–Africa BlueTech Superhighway (AABS) project by @UKinNigeria just wrapped its Year 3 Review. ➡️Three years ➡️506+ farmers trained ➡️2 published papers ➡️IMTA pilot sites across Lagos & Ogun States The blue economy grows from here. 🌊 Learn more about AABS in Nigeria: worldfishcenter.org/aabs/nigeria #WorldFish #AABS #Nigeria #Aquaculture #CoastalCommunities #BlueEconomy #FoodSystems #UKinNigeria #BritishHighCommission #UKNG

💡 Wrapping up 3 days in Timor-Leste 🇹🇱 under AABS Partners from Timor-Leste, Tanzania, and Mozambique came together for a highly productive exchange on the future of digital fisheries systems as part of a knowledge exchange program under AABS funded by the UK government through #FCDO. This was held under the IKAN Adapt project, funded by the @theGEF and @FAO. 📝Key takeaway: collaboration matters. Data + partnerships → better fisheries outcomes. #AABS #FCDO #DigitalInnovation #Fisheries #KnowledgeSharing #DigitalFisheries #BlueEconomy #TimorLeste #FisheriesManagement

💧 This #WorldWaterDay2026, we stand with @IWMI_ as they work for a water-secure future, advancing equitable access, empowering women, and strengthening resilient communities. Across @CGIAR centres, we make every drop count. 👉 on.cgiar.org/4uM1d0G #WaterAndGender

🐟 Small-scale fisheries aren’t marginal, they’re undercounted and under-supported. In a recent Dialogue Earth piece featuring scientist Gianna, it was found that fishers are facing growing pressures from climate change and commercial competition. They provide ~40% of global catch & support ~500M livelihoods yet remain overlooked in policy.

Inclusive aquaculture leads to stronger and more productive aquatic food systems 🙋‍♀️🙋‍ Across aquatic food systems, women make up a significant share of the workforce, yet many still face barriers. This includes accessing resources, training, and decision-making opportunities. By supporting more inclusive policies, building capacity, and strengthening partnerships, aquaculture can deliver better outcomes for communities, livelihoods, and food security. 🐟 Read more: worldfishcenter.org/updates/inclus… #AquaticFoods #FoodSystems #BlueEconomy #Aquaculture #FoodSecurity #NutritionSecurity #Livelihoods #ClimateChange #SharedProsperity #Zambia
