Phenotypic and genetic parameters for body measurements, reproductive traits and gut length of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) selected for growth in low-input earthen ponds
Type: Journal Article
In this study we present estimates of phenotypic and genetic parameters for body size measurements, reproductive traits, and gut length for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) selected for growth in fertilized earthen ...
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 ...
Genetic evaluation of a complete diallel cross involving three populations of freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) from different geographical regions of India
Type: Journal Article
Estimates of additive genetic, reciprocal and average heterosis effects were obtained from a three by three complete diallelcross experiment for giant freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii. The data were generated in ...

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 ...
Electrophoretic evidence for extensive hybrid gene introgression into commercial Oreochromis niloticus (L.) stocks in the Philippines
Type: Journal Article
The usefulness of isozyme and protein markers in identifying tilapia species and their hybrids is demonstrated Genetic characterization of Oreochromis niloticus populations from commercial farms, experimental stations, and ...

Characterization of Ghanaian tilapia genetic resources for use in fisheries and aquaculture
Type: Conference Proceedings
Summary proceedings of a four-day workshop held on 4-7 June 1996, Accra, Ghana. Includes presentations, discussions and recommendations on developing techniques for characterizing tilapia genetic resources and utilizing ...
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 ...
Genetic analysis of the GIFT strain (Nile Tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus) in Malaysia
Type: Conference Paper
The Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT) strain is well known worldwide because of its high performance. A first phase of the project ended in 1997 after five generations of selection. In 2002, the GIFT population ...
Establishment of a satellite nucleus of the GIFT strain at Rajiv Gandhi Center for Aquaculture (RGCA) to support tilapia production in India
Type: Conference Paper
Rajiv Gandhi Center for Aquaculture (RGCA), India was interested in obtaining the Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT strain) for aquaculture in the country. Discussions were made and joint proposal was developed ...
