Supporting more sustainable, productive and inclusive fish agri-food systems: Annual report 2018
Type: Report
FISH made significant progress during 2018 in producing and disseminating a suite of research innovations for the sustainable development of fisheries and aquaculture across Africa, Asia and the Pacific.
Analysis of RAPD polymorphisms in Rastrelliger kanagurta off India
Type: Journal Article
Analysis of RAPD loci in Indian mackerel (Rastrelliger kanagurta), as generated by the arbitrary primer OPA 07 (GAAACGGGTG), revealed a maximum within-region genetic variability for samples from the east coast of India. ...
Maintaining the "public good" nature of improved fish strains: dissemination of knowledge and materials
Type: Conference Paper
Many sources of information that discuss currents problems of food security point to the importance of farmed fish as an ideal food source that can be grown by poor farmers, (Asian Development Bank 2004). Furthermore, the ...
Gender responsive breeding
Type: Presentation
WorldFish Genetics Workshop 2022 - ppt presentation on Gender responsive breeding.
GIZ | Scaling systems and partnerships for accelerating the adoption of improved tilapia strains by small-scale fish farmers (SPAITS). Progress report: January to December 2021
Type: Donor Report
Global demand for seafood continues to rise, driven by population growth, higher incomes, urbanization, and increasing preference for aquatic foods. The growth of aquaculture is critical to meet increasing demand for fish. ...
Selective breeding for increased body weight in a synthetic breed of Egytian Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus: response to selection and genetic parameters
Type: Journal Article
Selection for harvest weight was performed in a fully pedigreed synthetic line of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in Egypt for two generations. Records were available over three spawning seasons (2002, 2003 and 2004) ...
Production priorities overshadow genetic quality at African fish hatcheries
Type: Journal Article
Based largely on FAO programs that address rural poverty, small-scale hatcheries have been developed in Africa to produce catfish and tilapia fingerlings. Production practices that fail to maintain genetic diversity, ...
Assessment of the impact of dissemination of genetically improved Abbassa Nile tilapia strain (GIANT-G9) versus commercial strains in some Egyptian governorates
Type: Journal Article
WorldFish initiated a selective breeding program in Abbassa--Egypt to develop and produce the genetically improved Nile tilapia strain known as “Genetically Improved Abbassa Nile tilapia (GIANT)”, adopting the same technology ...
Multiple haemoglobins in three tilapiine species of the genus Oreochromis and in eight strains of O. niloticus
Type: Journal Article
Among three tilapiine species, Oreochromis aureus (Steindachner), O. mossambicus (Peters) and O. niloticus (L.), fifteen banding positions of haemoglobin were resolved using citric acid-aminopropylmorpholine pH 7.0 buffer. ...
Genetics of flesh quality in fish
Type: Journal Article
Genetic improvement has led to substantial increase in productivity in farmed animals and in tropical fin fish, this is evident in tilapia. The GIFT (Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia) strain of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis ...
