Breeding plan for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in Indonesia: individual selection
Type: Report
The International Network on Genetics in Aquaculture (INGA) was established in 1993 with the objective to contribute through collaborative research, to the domestication and sustainable performance of tropical finfish ...
Performance of the Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT) strain over ten generations of selection in Malaysia
Type: Journal Article
A selection programme using Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (BLUP) method for the estimation of genetic merit was implemented by the Department of Fisheries Malaysia (DOF) in collaboration with the WorldFish Centre. This ...
Practical training manual: Tilapia breeding and all-male fry production
Type: Manual
This is an updated second version of an English language training manual which details how to breed tilapia in synchronous batches and to produce all-male tilapia seed.
Breeding plan for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in Vietnam: combined multi-trait selection
Type: Report
Total freshwater aquaculture production in Vietnam in 1995 was about 300 000 tons and total brackish water aquaculture production was about 115 000 tons. Total tilapia production was about 15 000 tons, mainly produced in ...
Genetic variance for uniformity of harvest weight in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
Competition for resources is common in aquaculture, which inflates the variability of fish body weight. Selective breeding is one of the effective approaches that may enable a reduction of size variability (or increase in ...
Closing the yield gap: improving production efficiency in smallholder farms of Nile tilapia through selective breeding
Type: Thesis
The aim of this thesis was to optimise the breeding program of Nile tilapia for a smallholder production system, thereby contributing to closing the yield gap. From Chapter 2 to 4, we generated information that can be used ...
Practical training manual: Tilapia breeding and all-male fry production (Burmese Version)
Type: Manual
This is an updated second version of an Myanmar language training manual which details how to breed tilapia in synchronous batches and to produce all-male tilapia seed.
Genetic and non-genetic indirect effects for harvest weight in the GIFT strain of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
The main objective of this study was to quantify the heritable variation for growth rate of GIFT, and the contribution of IGEs to this heritable variation. Here we describe the experiment conducted for this purpose, and ...
Tilapia breeding in ricefields in Vietnam
Type: Journal Article
Results of the studies undertaken for breeding and nursing Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in ricefields in Thai Binh province in Vietnam during the years 1995-96 are briefly presented in this paper.
