Benchmarking Tilapia Aquaculture Systems in Egypt: Synergies, Trade-offs, and Entry Points for Sustainable Development
Type: Conference Proceedings
The growing demand for aquatic foods requires the sustainable intensification of aquaculture systems. However, policy and investment decisions for sustainable intensification of aquaculture systems are often hindered by a ...
Measuring individual feed efficiency and its correlations with performance traits in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus
Type: Journal Article
Estimating individual feed intake of fish held in groups has long been a challenge precluding precise knowledge of the individual variation of feed efficiency (FE) in fish. In this study, counts of the number of feed pellets ...
Chromosome‑level genome sequence of the Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT, Oreochromis niloticus) highlights regions of introgression with O. mossambicus
Type: Journal Article
Background
The Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is the third most important freshwater fish for aquaculture. Its success is directly linked to continuous breeding efforts focusing on production traits such as growth ...
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 ...
European Commission | TRUE-FISH R3.3: Improved protection of biodiversity, in relation to conservation of native species of tilapias in the EAC region. Annual narrative report: June 2022 to May 2023
Type: Donor Report
This report outlines the results and milestones achieved by WorldFish in implementing actions to meet the objectives of TRUEFISH Result Area 3.3 (Improved protection of biodiversity), from June 2022 to May 2023.
Development of Diversity Arrays Technology markers as a tool for rapid genomic assessment in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus
Type: Journal Article
The development of genomic markers is described for Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, using the Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) genotype-by-sequencing platform. A total of 13 215 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) ...
Genetic variation in wild populations and farmed stocks of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in Madagascar
Type: Journal Article
Four farmed stocks and four wild populations of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), which was first introduced to Madagascar sixty years ago, were assayed for genetic variation at nine microsatellite loci to determine ...
Dissemination and scaling strategy for genetically improved farmed tilapia (GIFT) in India, 2020–2030
Type: Internal Report
A strategy for GIFT dissemination and scaling in India is imperative to ensuring that the positive changes in policy and the increased efforts and investments in the tilapia industry succeed to scale impacts of GIFT adoption. ...
Breeding for robustness: Investigating the genotype-by-environment interaction and micro-environmental sensitivity of Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
The objectives of this study were (i) to quantify the degree of G x E by assessing the growth performance of Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT) across three countries (Malaysia, India and China) and (ii) to quantify ...
Agonistic behaviour and feed efficiency in juvenile Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus
Type: Journal Article
The main hypothesis of the present study was that an aggressive and dominant fish would eat more feed and would be more efficient. To test this hypothesis, estimations of the relationships between agonistic behaviour, ...
