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 ...
Potential applications of reproductive and molecular genetic technologies in the selective breeding of aquaculture species
Type: Conference Paper
The use of reproductive and genetic technologies can increase the efficiency of selective breeding programs for aquaculture species. Four technologies are considered, namely: marker-assisted selection, DNA fingerprinting, ...
Breeding program requirements in developing countries may differ depending on circumstances
Type: Book Chapter
Aquaculture in developing countries is largely based on unimproved fish strains. There is ample evidence indicating the potential of genetic improvement programs and a range of selection methods may be used. Examples of ...
Genetic management of aquaculture stocks in sub-Saharan Africa
Type: Report
This document is a report of a workshop on genetic resource management in sub-Saharan Africa.
Big benefis from selectively bred fish
Type: Poster
Infographic on the benefits on the power of selective breeding to fish.
Indigenous species for African aquaculture development
Type: Book Chapter
From the history of introductions and the development of successful aquaculture elsewhere, it appears that the use of exotic species to speed up the rate of aquaculture development in Africa is unlikely to be an efficacious ...
Dhaka declaration on ecological risk assessment of genetically improved fish
Type: Brochure
Fifty-four participants from 20 countries representing national/research institutions in Africa, Asia and the Pacific, non-govermental organizations and regional/international organizations held an Expert Consultation on ...
Ressources genetiques en tilapias pour l'aquaculture
Type: Conference Proceedings
Tilapia culture in Asia and other non African countries is practiced on a narrow genetic base. In contrast, African countries, many of which need assistance to develop their own aquaculture sectors, hold the global wealth ...
Benchmarking the environmental performance of best management practice and genetic improvements in Egyptian aquaculture using life cycle assessment
Type: Journal Article
Egyptian aquaculture is gaining importance as an affordable and nutritious source of animal protein among Egyptians. Nile tilapia dominates production (77% of total production), followed by carps (17%) and mullets (11%). ...
