| Innovation Title | Contextualized better management practices (BMPs) for tilapia broodstock conditioning and mass spawning in hapas in ponds in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) |
| Innovation description | In cooperation with the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) in Bukavu and Kinshasa, WorldFish has worked to build the capacities of technicians and hatchery operators from the hatchery sites in the country. The partnership has helped increase access to high-quality aquaculture inputs—specifically seed and feed. These guidelines have been developed to optimize the conditioning and spawning of tilapia broodstock for improved fry and fingerling production. |
