Genetic and environmental factors affecting growth of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) juveniles: Modelling spatial correlations between hapas
Type: Journal Article
The aim of this study was to quantify the environmental and genetic effects on early growth of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus.
Transgene expressions in seabass (Lates calcarifer) following muscular injection of plasmid DNA: a strategy for vaccine development?
Type: Journal Article
Muscular injection has become one of the direct methods for transferring foreign DNA into organisms. The technique has been recently introduced in the development of vaccines and gene therapy. Vaccine development, in ...
Phylogeography of a pearl oyster (Pinctada maxima) across the Indo-Australian Archipelago: evidence of strong regional structure and population expansions but no phylogenetic breaks
Type: Journal Article
This study investigates the genetic structure and phylogeography of a broadcast spawning bivalve mollusc, Pinctada maxima, throughout the Indo-West Pacific and northern Australia. DNA sequence variation of the mitochondrial ...
Genetic improvement of Israeli blue (Jordan) tilapia, Oreochromis aureus (Steindachner), through selective breeding for harvest weight
Type: Journal Article
Genetic parameters and selection responses were obtained for harvest body weight of blue tilapia (Oreochromis aureus) from data collected over three generations in a selected population. A total of 18 194 records representing ...
Genetic variance for uniformity of harvest weight in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
Competition for resources is common in aquaculture, which inflates the variability of fish body weight. Selective breeding is one of the effective approaches that may enable a reduction of size variability (or increase in ...
Genetic improvement of carps in Asia: workshop souvenir
Type: Report
This report contains essays presented at the Workshop on Genetic Improvement of Carps in Asia, held in Central Institute of Freshwater Aquaculture, on 26-29 July 1997
Towards policies for conservation and sustainable use of aquatic genetic resources
Type: Conference Proceedings
Genetic stock identification is increasingly needed for fisheries management. Genetic technologies are being developed to increase food production from aquaculture and to document and evaluate aquatic species, subspecies ...
Breeding for robustness: Investigating the genotype-by-environment interaction and micro-environmental sensitivity of Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
The objectives of this study were (i) to quantify the degree of G x E by assessing the growth performance of Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT) across three countries (Malaysia, India and China) and (ii) to quantify ...
Dissemination and evaluation of genetic improved tilapia species in Asia (DEGITA): final report (January 1998)
Type: Report
The major objectives of the DEGITA ( Project (Dissemination and Evaluation of Genetically Improved Tilapia Species in Asia) were: 1) to carry out genetic, socio economic and environmental evaluation of the improved tilapia ...
Development of aquatic animal genetic improvement and dissemination programs : current status and action plans
Type: Report
WorldFish Center in collaboration with the China Academy of Fishery Sciences organized the international “Workshop on Dissemination of Improved Fish Strains: Country-Specific Action Plans” on 21-22 September (2005) in ...
