Heterosis, direct and maternal genetic effects on body traits in a complete diallel cross involving four strains of red tilapia Oreochromis spp
Type: Conference Paper
Heterosis, direct additive genetic and general reciprocal effects were estimated from a complete diallel cross involving four strains of red tilapia Oreochromis spp from Malaysia, Stirling, Taiwan and Thailand. The mating ...
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 ...

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 ...
Genetic improvement of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis Niloticus): present and future
Type: Conference Paper
We mainly (but not exclusively) draw upon research and development work carried out by The WorldFish Center (WorldFish). We review the current state of development of selection programs that have had a main focus on growth ...
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 ...
