Investment Appraisal of Genetic Improvement Programs in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis Niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
The economic benefit derived from a genetic improvement program with Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) was examined from a national perspective. An industry structure was assumed whereby the genetic improvement program ...
Can sexual dimorphism and body shape be altered in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) by genetic means?
Type: Journal Article
The objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters in GIFT (Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia), especially focusing on the genetic correlation between trait expressions in both sexes and among measurements ...
Breeding program requirements in developing countries may differ depending on circumstances
Type: Book Chapter
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 ...
A comparison of GIFT and red tilapia for fillet yield and sensory attributes of flesh quality assessed by trained panel
Type: Conference Paper
Tilapia is a tropical freshwater fish, predicted to become the largest aquaculture production in the world, after carps, shrimp and salmonids, in the present century (Fitzsimmons, 2000). In Malaysia 85 per cent of the ...
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 ...
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.
Accounting for genotype by environment interaction in economic appraisal of genetic improvement programs in common carp Cyprinus carpio
Type: Journal Article
In this study we examine effects of genotype by environment (G×E) interaction due to re-ranking and scaling effects on economic benefit (EB) and benefit to cost ratio (BCR) from a genetic improvement program in common carp ...
Genetic improvement of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis Niloticus): present and future
Type: Conference Paper
We mainly (but not exclusively) draw upon research and development work carried out by The WorldFish Center (WorldFish). We review the current state of development of selection programs that have had a main focus on growth ...
