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% ...
Lessons from the breeding program on common carp in Hungary
Type: Conference Paper
Common carp is one of the most important cultured freshwater fish species in the world. Its production in freshwater areas is the second largest in Europe after rainbow trout. Common carp production in Europe was 146,845 ...

Type: Journal Article
The International Center for Living Aquatic Resources Management (ICLARM) in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and with the support of the Commission of the European ...
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 ...
Aquaculture genetics research in Egypt
Type: Conference Paper
Fish production in Egypt has significantly increased over the last few years reaching 546 000 t in 1998 compared to 306 000 t in 1988. The contribution of aquaculture in the overall fish production has increased as well ...
Indirect genetic effects and inbreeding: Consequences of BLUP selection for socially affected traits on rate of inbreeding
Type: Journal Article
Social interactions often occur among living organisms, including aquatic animals. There is empirical evidence showing that social interactions may genetically affect phenotypes of individuals and their group mates. In ...
Genetic parameters and correlated responses in female reproductive traits in the GIFT strain
Type: Journal Article
The aim of this study was to examine genetic variation in reproductive traits and to estimate correlated responses in such traits to selection for high growth rate in the GIFT strain of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus).
