A comparison of GIFT and red tilapia for fillet yield and sensory attributes of flesh quality assessed by trained panel
(2006)Type: Conference PaperTilapia is a tropical freshwater fish, predicted to become the largest aquaculture production in the world, after carps, shrimp and salmonids, in the present century (Fitzsimmons, 2000). In Malaysia 85 per cent of the ... -
Flesh characteristics: estimation of genetic parameters and correlated responses to selection for growth rate in the GIFT strain
(2014)Type: Journal ArticleGenetically improved farmed tilapia (GIFT) has undergone ten generations of selection for harvest body weight in Malaysia, but there have been no reports on genetic parameters for flesh characteristics for this strain. In ... -
Genetic improvement of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) with special reference to the work conducted by the WorldFish Center with the GIFT strain
(2011)Type: Journal ArticleWe mainly (but not exclusively) draw on research and development work carried out by The WorldFish Center (WorldFish). We review in detail the current state of development of a selection program that has had a main focus ... -
Genetic parameters and correlated responses in female reproductive traits in the GIFT strain
(2016)Type: Journal ArticleThe aim of this study was to examine genetic variation in reproductive traits and to estimate correlated responses in such traits to selection for high growth rate in the GIFT strain of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). -
Genetic parameters for survival during the grow-out period in the GIFT strain of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and correlated response to selection for harvest weight
(2015)Type: Journal ArticleThe aims of this study were the estimation of genetic parameters for survival rate from tagging until harvest and the evaluation of the correlated response in survival rate to selection for harvest weight in the genetically ...
