Genome-wide association analysis of adaptation to oxygen stress in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
(2021)Type: Journal ArticleBackground: Tilapia is one of the most abundant species in aquaculture. Hypoxia is known to depress growth rate, but the genetic mechanism by which this occurs is unknown. In this study, two groups consisting of 3140 fish ... -
Genotype by environment interaction between aerated and non-aerated ponds and the impact of aeration on genetic parameters in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
(2020)Type: Journal ArticleA major problem in smallholder Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) farms is that the achieved production is much lower than under optimal management. One of the main environmental factors contributing to lower production ... -
Quantitative trait loci controlling swimming performance and their effect on growth in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
(2022)Type: Journal ArticleCritical swimming speed (Ucrit) is an important measurement of swimming performance and a good indicator for cardio-respiratory health. It offers a new opportunity to select fish with better fitness. However, the genomic ...
