Mass spawning of Oreochromis niloticus for fry production: threats and opportunities for small-scale aquaculture and selective breeding
Type: Book Chapter
Mass selection based on mass spawning can present a feasible and low-cost selective breeding scheme. In mass spawning, however, mating is not controlled and a small number of breeding individuals may account for a ...
Genetic parameters and response to selection for live weight in the GIFT strain of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
Genetic improvement programs can increase the productivity of cultured aquatic species. Their rigorous design requires knowledge about parameters such as herit-ability and correlations among the traits under selection. ...
