Perspectives from Agriculture: Advances in livestock breeding-Implications for aquaculture genetics
Type: Journal Article
In this paper we present livestock breeding developments that could be taken into consideration in the genetic improvement of farmed aquaculture species, especially in freshwater fish. Firstly, the current breeding objective ...
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 ...
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 ...
Growth performance of mixed sex, hormonally sex reversed and progeny of YY male tilapia of the GIFT strain, Orechromis niloticus
Type: Journal Article
The growth performance of three experimental groups consisting of mixed sex fish (control), hormone-treated fish and progeny of YY male tilapia, all originated from the genetically improved farmed tilapia (GIFT) strain was ...
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 ...
