Pearl millet is one of the two major crops in the semiarid, impoverished, less fertile agriculture regions of Africa and southeast Asia. [43] Millets are not only adapted to poor, dry infertile soils, but they are also more reliable under these conditions than most other grain crops. [43] Millets, however, do respond to high fertility and moisture.
In Indonesian cuisine, the milt (called telur ikan ' fish egg ') of snakehead and snapper is usually made into kari or woku. In Japanese cuisine, the testes (白子 shirako ' white children ') of cod (tara), anglerfish (ankō), salmon (sake), squid (ika) and pufferfish are eaten.

[1] Mullets have served as an important source of food in Mediterranean Europe since Roman times. The family includes about 78 species in 26 genera. [2]

The flathead grey mullet [2] (Mugil cephalus) is an important food fish species in the mullet family Mugilidae. It is found in coastal temperate , tropical and subtropical waters worldwide. [ 2 ] Its length is typically 30 to 75 centimetres (12 to 30 in).
Kodo millet is propagated from seed, ideally in row planting instead of broadcast sowing. Its preferred soil type is a very fertile, clay-based soil. Var. scrobiculatum is better suited to dried conditions than its wild counterpart, which requires approximately 800–1200 mm of water annually and is well suited to sub-humid aridity conditions.
Foxtail millet is an annual grass with slim, vertical, leafy stems which can reach a height of 120–200 cm (3 ft 11 in – 6 ft 7 in).. The seedhead is a dense, hairy panicle 5–30 cm (2 in – 1 ft 0 in) long.
China accounts for about one-third of the total fish production of the world. Aquaculture, the breeding of fish in ponds and lakes, accounts for more than half of its output. The principal aquaculture-producing regions are close to urban markets in the middle and lower Yangtze valley and the Zhu Jiang delta.
