Can sexual dimorphism and body shape be altered in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) by genetic means?
Type: Journal Article
The objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters in GIFT (Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia), especially focusing on the genetic correlation between trait expressions in both sexes and among measurements ...
A comparison of GIFT and red tilapia for fillet yield and sensory attributes of flesh quality assessed by trained panel
Type: Conference Paper
Tilapia is a tropical freshwater fish, predicted to become the largest aquaculture production in the world, after carps, shrimp and salmonids, in the present century (Fitzsimmons, 2000). In Malaysia 85 per cent of the ...
Estimation of genetic change in the GIFT strain by comparing contemporary progeny produced by males born in 1991 or 2003
Type: Conference Paper
During the development of the GIFT (Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia) strain in Philippines sperm was frozen from a sample of males from founder stocks and subsequent generations. In this paper a comparison of progeny ...
