A major quantitative trait locus affecting resistance to Tilapia lake virus in farmed Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
Enhancing host resistance to infectious disease has received increasing attention in recent years as a major goal of farm animal breeding programs. Combining field data with genomic tools can provide opportunities to ...
Population, temperature and feeding rate effects on individual feed efficiency in European Sea Bass (Dicentrarchus labrax)
Type: Journal Article
Using breeding programs to improve feed efficiency, the ratio between fish body weight gain (BWG) and feed intake (FI), could increase aquaculture sustainability through reduced feed costs and environmental impact. To this ...
Development and validation of an open access SNP array for 2 Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis Niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
Tilapia are amongst the most important farmed fish species worldwide, and are fundamental for the food security of many developing countries. Several genetically improved Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) strains exist, ...
Genotype by environment interaction between aerated and non-aerated ponds and the impact of aeration on genetic parameters in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
A major problem in smallholder Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) farms is that the achieved production is much lower than under optimal management. One of the main environmental factors contributing to lower production ...
An investigation of links between metabolic rate and feed efficiency in European sea bass Dicentrarchus labrax
Type: Journal Article
Feed efficiency (FE) is the amount of body weight gain for a given feed intake. Improving FE through selective breeding is key for sustainable finfish aquaculture but its evaluation at individual level is technically ...
Growth performance of three strains of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) on four different feeds in Western and Central Kenya
Type: Journal Article
The growth performance of three commercially available strains of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fed one of four different commercially available feeds during nursery and grow-out was assessed in Kenya. Each of the ...
Preferences for rohu fish (L. rohita) traits of women and men from farming households in Bangladesh and India
Type: Journal Article
As selective breeding programs are time-consuming and expensive, it is critical that clients preferred traits are accurately identified. This is important to achieve value for money and adoption of selectively improved ...
Genome-wide association analysis of adaptation to oxygen stress in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
Background: Tilapia is one of the most abundant species in aquaculture. Hypoxia is known to depress growth rate, but the genetic mechanism by which this occurs is unknown. In this study, two groups consisting of 3140 fish ...
A systematic literature review of the major factors causing yield gap by affecting growth, feed conversion ratio and survival in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
Productivity among small‐ and medium‐scale tilapia farms varies considerably. The difference between the best performers and lower ones (yield gap), is affected by differences in growth rate and feed conversion ratio (FCR). ...
A review of access and benefit-sharing measures and literature in key aquaculture-producing countries
Type: Journal Article
Countries increasingly use access and benefit-sharing laws as a tool for the conservation and sustainable use of biological resources and associated traditional knowledge. These laws generally require the recipient of ...
