Tilapia production booms in the Philippines
Type: Journal Article
Tilapia is the second most popular cultured fish in the Philippines. Increased consumer demand is discussed briefly and an account is given of hatcheries, cage culture in lakes and land based grow-out systems. Future ...
Genetic considerations on acquisition and maintenance of reference populations of tilapia
Type: Journal Article
The maintenance of reference populations of Tilapia is discussed, examining genetic considerations to be taken into account to conserve the gene pool to prevent genetic drift and prevent detrimental levels of inbreeding. ...
Preliminary tests of an aerated tank system for tilapia culture
Type: Journal Article
A simple tank system, using artificial aeration to supply oxygen and incoming water to dilute metabolic by-products and other wastes, was tested. Blue tilapia, Oreochromis aureus, were grown under a wide range of loads, ...
