Heritability of cold tolerance in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus juveniles
Type: Journal Article
The inability of tilapia to tolerate low temperatures is of major economic concern as it reduces their growing season and leads to over winter mortality. In this study, cold tolerance of juvenile Nile tilapia, Oreochromis ...
Genetic and environmental factors affecting growth of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) juveniles: Modelling spatial correlations between hapas
Type: Journal Article
The aim of this study was to quantify the environmental and genetic effects on early growth of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus.
Factors affecting early growth of Nile tilapia fry in hapa-in-pond environments
Type: Report
Hapas, usually suspended in fertilized ponds, have long been used for tilapia fry production (Santiago et al., 1985; Bhujel, 1997) and recently for fry rearing. In fish breeding programs, members of a full-sib family usually ...
Effects of rearing conditions on low temperature tolerance of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, juveniles
Type: Conference Proceedings
This paper summarizes the results of two experiments in which the effects of genotype, age, size, condition factor and diet (natural phytoplankton versus formulated protein pellets) on low-temperature tolerance of juvenile ...
Mating systems and male reproductive success in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus): a microsatelite analysis
Type: Journal Article
Fry production in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus is typically achieved by mass spawning of males and females stocked in large hapas suspended in ponds. In such spawning aggregations, territorial behavior and reproductive ...
