Heritable variation in swimming performance in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and negative genetic correlations with growth and harvest weight

Mengistu, S.; Palstra, A.; Mulder, H.A.; Benzie, J.; Trinh, T.Q.; Roozeboom, C.; Komen, H.; John Benzie: 0000-0001-9599-8683

Type: Journal Article

Nile tilapia is predominantly produced in smallholder ponds without aeration. We hypothesize that Nile tilapia with high oxygen uptake efficiency (O2UE) may perform better under these conditions than Nile tilapia with low ...
Quantitative trait loci controlling swimming performance and their effect on growth in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

Yu, X.; Mengistu, S.; Mulder, H.A.; Palstra, A.; Benzie, J.; Trinh, T.Q.; Groenen, M.; Komen, H.; Megens, H.; John Benzie: 0000-0001-9599-8683 (2022)

Type: Journal Article

Critical 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 ...
