Correlated response in fillet weight and yield to selection for increased harvest weight in genetically improved farmed tilapia (GIFT strain), Oreochromis niloticus
Type: Journal Article
A data set consisting of 5532 slaughter records collected over three generations from a selection program for increased harvest body weight in the GIFT strain of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) was used to estimate ...
Genetic parameters and correlated responses in female reproductive traits in the GIFT strain
Type: Journal Article
The aim of this study was to examine genetic variation in reproductive traits and to estimate correlated responses in such traits to selection for high growth rate in the GIFT strain of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus).
Genetic improvement programs for aquaculture species in developing countries: prospects and challenges
Type: Conference Paper
Aquaculture in developing countries is largely based on unimproved fish strains. There is ample evidence indicating the potential of genetic improvement programs and a range of selection methods may be used. Examples of ...
Inbreeding and effective population size in the Malaysian nucleus of the GIFT strain of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
A fully pedigreed population of the GIFT (Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia) strain of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) was established in Malaysia during 2001 and 2002. The selection program was focused on the ...
A systematic quantitative literature review of aquaculture genetic resource access and benefit sharing
Type: Journal Article
The Convention on Biological Diversity provides a framework for countries to implement laws regulating the access, use and exchange of genetic resources, including how users and providers share the benefits from their use. ...
Genetic improvement, support to aquaculture value chains and promotion of fish in foods systems in the Southern African Development Community (SADC)
Type: Presentation
WorldFish Genetics Workshop 2022- presentation on genetic improvement, support to aquaculture value chains and promotion of fish in foods systems in the Southern African Development Community (SADC)
Genetic improvement and dissemination of rohu (labeo rohita, Ham.) in India
Type: Book Chapter
Experts carried out selective breeding of Rohu carp for greater harvest weight and yielded an average of 17% genetic gain per generation in 5 generations of selection.
Genetic improvement of carp reduces poverty, hunger in Asia
Type: Journal Article
Breeding programs for carp species carried out in a number of Asian countries have delivered genetically fast growing strains to farmers and producers. The economic benefits resulting from the programs are substantial. The ...
Breeding plan for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in Vietnam: combined multi-trait selection
Type: Report
Total freshwater aquaculture production in Vietnam in 1995 was about 300 000 tons and total brackish water aquaculture production was about 115 000 tons. Total tilapia production was about 15 000 tons, mainly produced in ...
Carp production in Asia: past trends, current status and future prospects
Type: Book Chapter
This chapter focuses on the status and future of carp production in Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam. The analysis is largely based on primary data collected through surveys of 2 025 carp fish ...
