Genetic diversity of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) throughout West Africa
Type: Journal Article
Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is a globally significant aquaculture species rapidly gaining status as a farmed commodity. In West Africa, wild Nile tilapia genetic resources are abundant yet knowledge of fine-scale ...
Closing the yield gap: improving production efficiency in smallholder farms of Nile tilapia through selective breeding
Type: Thesis
The aim of this thesis was to optimise the breeding program of Nile tilapia for a smallholder production system, thereby contributing to closing the yield gap. From Chapter 2 to 4, we generated information that can be used ...
CGIAR Research Program on Fish Agri-Food Systems - Annual Report 2019
Type: Report
This annual report provides key achievements of the CGIAR Research Program on Fish Agri-Food Systems (FISH) during 2019. The results of FISH during this year included: 1) the discovery of innovations for sustainable ...
Maximum likelihood parentage assignment using quantitative genotypes
Type: Journal Article
The cost of parentage assignment precludes its application in many selective breeding programs and molecular ecology studies, and/or limits the circumstances or number of individuals to which it is applied. Pooling samples ...
Pipette and paper: Combining molecular and genealogical methods to assess a Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) breeding program
Type: Journal Article
The paper compared molecular and paper records of pedigrees in a Nile tilapia breeding program, the Abbassa line in Egypt. It established a novel pipeline of checks and balances based on molecular data to correct erroneous ...
Aquaculture technologies and best management practices training program
Type: Other
The aquaculture technologies and best management practices training is a two-week course for any professional working in fish farm management, aquaculture research, teaching or extension in Africa and beyond. The course ...
Quantifying the genetic parameters of feed efficiency in juvenile Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus
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 ...
Annual Report 2017
Type: Report
The CGIAR Research Program on Fish Agri-Food Systems (FISH) is a new CRP that builds on earlier CRPs for Livestock and Fish (L&F) and Aquatic Agricultural Systems (AAS) as well as prior research by WorldFish and the managing ...
CGIAR Research Program on Fish Agri-Food Systems - Annual Report 2020
Type: Report
This annual report provides key achievements of the CGIAR Research Program (on Fish Agri-Food Systems (FISH) in 2020. During the year, FISH focused on further accelerating the transition from discovery to enabling the ...
Heritable variation in swimming performance in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and negative genetic correlations with growth and harvest weight
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 ...
