Manual on genetic improvement of farmed tilapia (GIFT) research methodologies
Type: Manual
Gathering and recording of biological data vital to experiments in a genetic improvement program should be carried out with efficiency, precision and accuracy. This is important in order to avoid marking erroneous conclusion ...
Genetic Improvement of Farmed Tilapias (GIFT) phase II (January 1993 to December 1997): plan of project activities - year 2 (January to December 1994)
Type: Report
The GIFT project is a major strategic research initiative in applied genetics and breeding in tropical aquaculture. The Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) was selected as a pilot species for the GIFT project because of ...
Observations on gillnet catches of Kariba tilapia, Oreochromis mortimeri from Bumi Basin of Lake Kariba, Zimbabwe
Type: Journal Article
Gillnet catches of Oreochromis mortimeri (Trewavas) were studied in the Bumi Basin of Lake Kariba in 1988 and 1989. Total length (TL) was positively correlated with standard length (SL). The linear relationship between TL ...
Effect of fishpond input on pond mud nutrient levels in integrated crop-fish culture resource recycling
Type: Report
The success of aquaculture among small holder farmers in Malawi, depends on the use of the available on-farm resources. Commercial fish feeds are currently not available. Fish ponds open possibility for recycling of waste ...
Photographic image analysis for morphometric studies of tilapia
Type: Journal Article
Biologists have long employed morphometry as a tool in identification, grouping of populations and stock identification of fish. For tilapias, studies have been made on the variability of morphomeric characters in Egyptian ...
Breeding and propagation of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in a floating hatchery, Gabon
Type: Journal Article
Based on the encouraging results obtained by earlier workers, the concept for a floating hatchery was developed for producing tilapia for both farming and enhanced fisheries in the freshwater lakes and coastal lagoons of ...
Seinability of four strains of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, in Chinese ponds
Type: Journal Article
The objective of the current experiment was to examine seinability of four strains of Nile tilapia, O. niloticus, GIFT and Egypt 92, Egypt 88 and Sudan 78. The latter two are normally utilized in China.
Abstracts [of] the Third International Symposium on Tilapia in Aquaculture, 11-16 November 1991
Type: Report
ISTA III is co-organized by ICLARM (International Center for Living Aquatic Resources Management), Manila, Philippines and CRO (Centre de Recherches Oceanographiques), Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire. This volume contains the ...
On improving the resolution of the recruitment patterns of fishes
Type: Journal Article
It is proposed that the "recruitment pattern" routine of the ELEFAN II program can be modified to allow, in addition to length-frequency data, the use of "restructured" data files. An example, based on Oreochromis niloticus ...
The introduction of exotic fish in Sri Lanka with special reference to tilapia
Type: Journal Article
Introductions of exotic finfish between 1948 and 1953 are reported in this paper, with a brief reference to earlier and later introductions. Exotic fish were introduced principally to develop the potential for aquaculture ...
