Can sexual dimorphism and body shape be altered in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) by genetic means?
Type: Journal Article
The objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters in GIFT (Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia), especially focusing on the genetic correlation between trait expressions in both sexes and among measurements ...
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 ...
Quantitative genetic basis of fatty acid composition in the GIFT strain of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) selected for high growth
Type: Journal Article
The quantitative genetic basis of fatty acid composition was examined in the Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT) strain of Nile tilapia selected for high breeding value for body weight and in the contemporaneous ...
Inbreeding and effective population size in the Malaysian nucleus of the GIFT strain of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
A fully pedigreed population of the GIFT (Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia) strain of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) was established in Malaysia during 2001 and 2002. The selection program was focused on the ...
Estimation of genetic change in the GIFT strain of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) by comparing contemporary progeny produced by males born in 1991 or in 2003
Type: Journal Article
Genetic change in the Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT) Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) was estimated by comparing the performance of the progeny produced from cryopreserved spermatozoa from the base population ...
Genotype by environmental interaction for live weight between two production environments in the GIFT strain (Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Conference Paper
A genotype by environmental interaction study was conducted using the live weight data collected from three discrete spawning seasons of Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia selective breeding program in Malaysia. Two ...
Genetic analysis of the GIFT strain (Nile Tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus) in Malaysia
Type: Conference Paper
The Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT) strain is well known worldwide because of its high performance. A first phase of the project ended in 1997 after five generations of selection. In 2002, the GIFT population ...
Estimation of genetic change in the GIFT strain by comparing contemporary progeny produced by males born in 1991 or 2003
Type: Conference Paper
During the development of the GIFT (Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia) strain in Philippines sperm was frozen from a sample of males from founder stocks and subsequent generations. In this paper a comparison of progeny ...
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 ...
