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 ...
Simulation of optimal harvesting strategies for small-scale mixed-sex tilapia (Oreochromis shiranus Boulenger 1896) ponds using a bio-economic model
Type: Journal Article
A cohort-based bio-economic biomass growth and economic model, validated with data from experiments conducted in Malawi, was used to identify an optimal harvesting strategy for mixed-sex tilapia ponds.Three harvesting ...
Decentralised Nile tilapia seed production
Type: Book Chapter
Local production of mixed sex Nile tilapia in irrigated rice fields has been introduced, established and then spread through farmer-to farmer contact in Northwest Bangladesh benefiting poor households in a number of ways. ...
Aquaculture in Jamaica
Type: Journal Article
Jamaica, with its overfish marine resources, has become a major tilapia producer in Latin America led by a small number of large farms practicing tilapia culture with considerable commercial success. Across the country, ...
Progress towards providing Fijian farmers with a better tilapia strain: evaluation of the GIFT fish in Fiji
Type: Journal Article
The relative growth performance of the GIFT strain Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) was compared under integrated and non-integrated conditions with the best performing ‘indigenous’ Fijian tilapia strain, O. niloticus ...
Selecting Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) for growth in low-input environments
Type: Book Chapter
This chapter presents the results from a selective breeding experiment with Nile tilapia in a low input pond environment. The environment was defined as low input as the pond only received chicken manure for fertilisation. ...
Pawpaw seed as fertility control agent on male Nile tilapia
Type: Journal Article
To find out if pawpaw (Carica papaya) seeds can induce sterility in male Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and to determine if sterility so induced is reversible or otherwise, mature male tilapia of mean weight 40 g ...
