Species composition in the Molobicus hybrid tilapia strain
Type: Journal Article
The “Molobicus” hybrid breeding programme was initiated to improve tilapia growth performance in brackish water. The base population was created by backcrossing F1 Oreochromis niloticus GIFT strains × feral O. mossambicus ...
Genotype by environment interaction and genetic heterogeneity of environmental variance of body weight at harvest in genetically improved farmed tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) reared in 3 different countries
Type: Journal Article
Establishing breeding programs that improve farmed fish performance across multiple environments is crucial in a globalized aquaculture market. The main objectives of the current study were to assess the growth performance ...
Pipette and paper: Combining molecular and genealogical methods to assess a Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) breeding program
Type: Journal Article
The paper compared molecular and paper records of pedigrees in a Nile tilapia breeding program, the Abbassa line in Egypt. It established a novel pipeline of checks and balances based on molecular data to correct erroneous ...
