Genome-wide association analysis of adaptation to oxygen stress in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

Yu, X.; Megens, H.; Mengistu, S.; Bastiaansen, J.W.; Mulder, H.A.; Benzie, J.; Groenen, M.; Komen, H.; John Benzie: 0000-0001-9599-8683 (2021)

Type: Journal Article

Background: 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 ...
Genomic architecture of selection for adaptation to challenging environments in aquaculture

Yu, X. (2022)

Type: Thesis

Aquaculture, including freshwater and marine farming, has been important for global fish production during the past few decades. However, climate change presents a major risk threatening both quality and quantity of ...
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 ...
