Heterosis, direct and maternal genetic effects on body traits in a complete diallel cross involving four strains of red tilapia Oreochromis spp
Type: Conference Paper
Heterosis, direct additive genetic and general reciprocal effects were estimated from a complete diallel cross involving four strains of red tilapia Oreochromis spp from Malaysia, Stirling, Taiwan and Thailand. The mating ...
Spiny lobster resources and opportunity for culture in post-tsunami Aceh, Indonesia
Type: Conference Paper
In an effort to facilitate the restoration of livelihoods that reduce poverty and increase community resilience2 we investigated possible responses related to the pre-existing lobster fishery as well as the potential for ...
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 ...
Mountain GIS: promoting geographic information and earth observation applications for the sustainable development of the Hindu Kush-Himalayan region
Type: Conference Paper
The Hindu Kush-Himalayan (HKH) region, home to the largest concentration of glaciers outside of the polar region, is the ‘water-tower’ of Asia. The HKH mountain ecosystem provides life support services to almost a third ...
Genotype by environmental interaction for live weight between two production environments in the GIFT strain (Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Conference Paper
A genotype by environmental interaction study was conducted using the live weight data collected from three discrete spawning seasons of Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia selective breeding program in Malaysia. Two ...
