Perspectives from Agriculture: Advances in livestock breeding-Implications for aquaculture genetics
Type: Journal Article
In this paper we present livestock breeding developments that could be taken into consideration in the genetic improvement of farmed aquaculture species, especially in freshwater fish. Firstly, the current breeding objective ...
Growth and survival rate of three genetic groups fed 28% and 34% protein diets
Type: Journal Article
The strain by nutrition interaction in body weight and survival rate was examined by testing three genetic groups (Selection and Control lines of the GIFT strain, and Red tilapia) at two levels of protein in the diet (28% ...
Genetic improvement of farmed aquatic animals at the WorldFish Center
Type: Brief
Aquaculture is the fastest growing food production sector in the world today, supplying half of global fish consumption. Production from capture fisheries has stagnated and is unable to meet the anticipated growth in demand. ...
Genotype by production environment interaction in the GIFT strain of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
Three discrete generations of GIFT fish (Nile tilapia strain, Oreochromis niloticus; a total of 10,065 fish with pedigree and phenotypic information) were tested in pond and cage culture environments to determine genotype ...
From drawing board to dining table: the success story of the GIFT project
Type: Journal Article
As compared to crops and livestock, the genetic enhancement of fish is in its infancy. While significant progress has been achieved in the genetic improvement of temperate fish such as salmonids, no efforts were made until ...
Genetics of flesh quality in fish
Type: Journal Article
Genetic improvement has led to substantial increase in productivity in farmed animals and in tropical fin fish, this is evident in tilapia. The GIFT (Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia) strain of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis ...
Establishment of a satellite nucleus of the GIFT strain at Rajiv Gandhi Center for Aquaculture (RGCA) to support tilapia production in India
Type: Conference Paper
Rajiv Gandhi Center for Aquaculture (RGCA), India was interested in obtaining the Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT strain) for aquaculture in the country. Discussions were made and joint proposal was developed ...
Adoption and farm-level impact of genetically improved farmed tilapia (GIFT) in the Philippines
Type: Conference Paper
Over the last four decades, the aquaculture sector especially in developing countries has experienced dramatic growth. The increase in aquaculture production is a combination of area expansion and technological change ...
Genetics of flesh quality in fish
Type: Conference Paper
Flesh quality has gained importance among consumers and in the aquaculture industry because it is directly related to human health and nutrition. Flesh quality comprises several different (freshness, appearance, smell, ...
GIFT: the story since leaving ICLARM (now known as the WorldFish Center): socioeconomic, access and benefit sharing and dissemination aspects
Type: Report
The aim of the overall project of which this report is part is to identify possible solutions for regulating access to aquatic genetic resources and legal protection of the results of research and development in aquaculture ...
