Genetic improvement of farmed tilapias: Genetic parameters for body weight at harvest in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) during five generations of testing in multiple environments
Type: Journal Article
The main objective of this paper was to report more reliable estimates of the genetic variation and the genotype by test environment interaction for harvest body weight in the GIFT population in the Philippines than could ...
Genetic improvement of farmed tilapias: composition and genetic parameters of a synthetic base population of Oreochromis niloticus for selective breeding
Type: Journal Article
The present study is based on data recorded from fish of the third generation of the GIFT project (Genetic Improvement of Farmed Tilapias). The objective of the study was to compose a synthetic base population of Nile ...
Genetic improvement of farmed tilapias: Response to five generations of selection for increased body weight at harvest in Oreochromis niloticus and the further impact of the project
Type: Journal Article
Selection for increased body weight at harvest in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) was carried out for five generations from 1991 to 1996, as a part of the project Genetic Improvement of Farmed Tilapias (GIFT). The ...
Genetic parameter and genotype by environment interaction for body weight of Oreochromis shiranus
Type: Journal Article
Genetic and phenotypic parameter estimates for tagging and harvest body weights were obtained from the F1 base (377 offspring of 59 full-sib families), F2 (1241 offspring of 52 full- and 33 half-sib families) and F3 (1052 ...
