Growth performance of three strains of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) on four different feeds in Western and Central Kenya
Type: Journal Article
The growth performance of three commercially available strains of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fed one of four different commercially available feeds during nursery and grow-out was assessed in Kenya. Each of the ...
Genome-wide association analysis of adaptation to oxygen stress in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
Background: Tilapia is one of the most abundant species in aquaculture. Hypoxia is known to depress growth rate, but the genetic mechanism by which this occurs is unknown. In this study, two groups consisting of 3140 fish ...
Genomic Selection and Genome-wide Association Study for Feed-Efficiency Traits in a Farmed Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) Population
Type: Journal Article
Nile tilapia is a key aquaculture species with one of the highest production volumes globally. Genetic improvement of feed efficiency via selective breeding is an important goal, and genomic selection may expedite this ...
Genetic parameters for black spot disease (diplopstomiasis) caused by Uvulifer sp. infection in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.)
Type: Journal Article
Black spot disease (diplopstomiasis), an external melanized host inflammatory response caused by a number of digenetic trematode parasites, results in slow growth, deformities and increased mortality among many freshwater ...
