The relation between farming practices and tilapia production in small-scale fish farms in Bangladesh.
Type: Working Paper
Because of its climate and vast water resources, Bangladesh is highly suitable for fisheries. Unsurprisingly, fisheries supply the majority of animal protein (60%) in Bangladeshi diets and provide employment to over 17 ...
Species composition in the Molobicus hybrid tilapia strain
Type: Journal Article
The “Molobicus” hybrid breeding programme was initiated to improve tilapia growth performance in brackish water. The base population was created by backcrossing F1 Oreochromis niloticus GIFT strains × feral O. mossambicus ...
Better management practices for genetically improved farmed tilapia (GIFT) in Timor-Leste
Type: Manual
In Timor-Leste, aquaculture development has been identified as a way to improve food and nutrition security, diversify livelihoods of coastal and inland communities, and increase economic growth in the country. In order ...
Assessment of the impact of dissemination of genetically improved Abbassa Nile tilapia strain (GIANT-G9) versus commercial strains in some Egyptian governorates
Type: Journal Article
WorldFish initiated a selective breeding program in Abbassa--Egypt to develop and produce the genetically improved Nile tilapia strain known as “Genetically Improved Abbassa Nile tilapia (GIANT)”, adopting the same technology ...
Genetic variation in wild populations and farmed stocks of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in Madagascar
Type: Journal Article
Four farmed stocks and four wild populations of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), which was first introduced to Madagascar sixty years ago, were assayed for genetic variation at nine microsatellite loci to determine ...
Effect of dietary protein level on fish growth, economic and ecological performance of three types of feed for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis Niloticus)
Type: Internal Report
With a growing world population, food production needs to increase as well. Part of the human diet is fish, and with world fisheries declining, the aquaculture industry is increasing. Nile tilapia is a major aquaculture ...
Apparent digestibility coefficients of local palm kernel cakes, rice bran, maize bran and sago flour in the GIFT strain of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
An experiment was conducted to estimate the apparent digestibility coefficients (ADC) of macronutrients and energy of local palm kernel cakes, rice bran, maize bran and sago flour available in tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus ...
Genetic diversity of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) throughout West Africa
Type: Journal Article
Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is a globally significant aquaculture species rapidly gaining status as a farmed commodity. In West Africa, wild Nile tilapia genetic resources are abundant yet knowledge of fine-scale ...
Pipette and paper: Combining molecular and genealogical methods to assess a Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) breeding program
Type: Journal Article
The paper compared molecular and paper records of pedigrees in a Nile tilapia breeding program, the Abbassa line in Egypt. It established a novel pipeline of checks and balances based on molecular data to correct erroneous ...
Transcriptome analysis of liver elucidates key immune-related pathways in Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus following infection with tilapia lake virus
Type: Journal Article
Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is one of the most important aquaculture species farmed worldwide. However, the recent emergence of tilapia lake virus (TiLV) disease, also known as syncytial hepatitis of tilapia, has ...
