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% ...
Fish for a food secure and prosperous Egypt
Type: Poster
Infographic on farmed tilapia as a nutritious food source in Egypt.
Quantitative genetic parameter estimates for body and carcass traits in a cultured stock of giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) selected for harvest weight in Vietnam
Type: Journal Article
Benefits derived from selective breeding have been demonstrated in livestock and in some fish species, but by contrast, there have been few systematic selection programs reported for shrimps. Improving growth rate has been ...
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. ...
A comparison of communal and separate rearing of families in selective breeding of common carp (Cyprinus carpio): Responses to selection
Type: Journal Article
The genetic response in growth traits in a selection program for increased harvest weight in a common carp population in Vietnam is reported. A base population (G0) was established from six carp stocks using single pair ...
Relative performance of two Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus Linnaeus) strains in Egypt: The Abbassa selection line and the Kafr El Sheikh commercial strain
Type: Journal Article
The Abbassa selection line (developed by selective breeding) and the Kafr El Sheikh commercial strain (widely used in Egypt), both Oreochromis niloticus, were compared at two stocking densities (two and four fish m-2). ...
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 ...
Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT)
Type: Brief
Genetic improvement through selective breeding has been used for millennia on crops and livestock, but up until the 1980s, little had been done to utilize this process for farmed fish. In response to the inadequate supply ...
Tilapia: The plain truth (Khmer version)
Type: Poster
This infographic is an overview of tilapia as a nutritious inexpensive and environmentally friendly food.
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 ...
