Genetic improvement of farmed tilapias: composition and genetic parameters of a synthetic base population of Oreochromis niloticus for selective breeding
Type: Journal Article
The present study is based on data recorded from fish of the third generation of the GIFT project (Genetic Improvement of Farmed Tilapias). The objective of the study was to compose a synthetic base population of Nile ...
Genetic improvement of farmed tilapias: growth performance in a complete diallel cross experiment with eight strains of Oreochromis niloticus
Type: Journal Article
A complete diallel cross experiment was carried out with eight strains of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The strains represented four wild populations collected from various locations in Africa and four populations ...
Genetic variation in lytic activities of blood serum from Nile tilapia and genetic associations with survival and body weight
Type: Journal Article
The objective of the present investigation was to determine the genetic variation in lysozyme activity and SH activity in blood serum from a family material of Nile tilapia (O. niloticus) and to study the genetic associations ...
Genetic improvement of farmed tilapias: Response to five generations of selection for increased body weight at harvest in Oreochromis niloticus and the further impact of the project
Type: Journal Article
Selection for increased body weight at harvest in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) was carried out for five generations from 1991 to 1996, as a part of the project Genetic Improvement of Farmed Tilapias (GIFT). The ...
