A systematic quantitative literature review of aquaculture genetic resource access and benefit sharing

Humphries, F.; Benzie, J.A.H.; Morrison, C. (2018)

Type: Journal Article

The Convention on Biological Diversity provides a framework for countries to implement laws regulating the access, use and exchange of genetic resources, including how users and providers share the benefits from their use. ...

Breeding for robustness: Investigating the genotype-by-environment interaction and micro-environmental sensitivity of Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

Agha, S.; Mekkawy, W.; Ibanez-Escriche, N.; Lind, C.E.; Kumar, J.; Mandal, A.; Benzie, J.A.H.; Doeschl-Wilson, A. (2018)

Type: Journal Article

The objectives of this study were (i) to quantify the degree of G x E by assessing the growth performance of Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT) across three countries (Malaysia, India and China) and (ii) to quantify ...

Development of Diversity Arrays Technology markers as a tool for rapid genomic assessment in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus

Lind, C.E.; Kilian, A.; Benzie, J.A.H. (2017)

Type: Journal Article

The development of genomic markers is described for Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, using the Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) genotype-by-sequencing platform. A total of 13 215 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) ...

Measuring individual feed efficiency and its correlations with performance traits in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus

de Verdal, H.; Mekkawy, W.; Lind, C.E.; Vandeputte, M.; Chatain, B.; Benzie, J.A.H. (2017)

Type: Journal Article

Estimating individual feed intake of fish held in groups has long been a challenge precluding precise knowledge of the individual variation of feed efficiency (FE) in fish. In this study, counts of the number of feed pellets ...

PmPPAF is a pro-phenoloxidase activating factor involved in innate immunity response of the shrimp Penaeus monodon

Ma, T.H.T.; Benzie, J.A.H.; He, J.G.; Sun, C.B.; Chan, S.M. (2014)

Type: Journal Article

One of the major steps in the innate immune response of shrimp includes the activation of serine proteinases of the pro-phenoloxidase pathway by the prophenoloxidase activation enzyme (PPAF). In this study, the cDNA encoding ...

Quantifying the genetic parameters of feed efficiency in juvenile Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus

de Verdal, H.; Vandeputte, M.; Mekkawy, W.; Chatain, B.; Benzie, J.A.H. (2018)

Type: Journal Article

Improving feed efficiency in fish is crucial at the economic, social and environmental levels with respect to developing a more sustainable aquaculture. The important contribution of genetic improvement to achieve this ...
