Differences in sexual size dimorphism among farmed tilapia species and strains undergoing genetic improvement for body weight
Type: Journal Article
Many tilapia (Oreochromis spp.) farmers produce all-male populations because of the superior growth rate of males compared to females. To investigate differences in body weight at harvest of males and females among different ...
Farmed tilapia: A nutritious food source for Egypt
Type: Poster
Infographic on farmed tilapia as a nutritious food source in Egypt.
Growth performance, feed utilization and gonad development of diploid and triploid Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus
Type: Journal Article
A 16 week experiment was conducted to evaluate growth performances, gonads development, carcass and proximateanalysis of diploid and triploid Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus.
Fish for a food secure and prosperous Egypt
Type: Poster
Infographic on farmed tilapia as a nutritious food source in Egypt.
Relative performance of two Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus Linnaeus) strains in Egypt: The Abbassa selection line and the Kafr El Sheikh commercial strain
Type: Journal Article
The Abbassa selection line (developed by selective breeding) and the Kafr El Sheikh commercial strain (widely used in Egypt), both Oreochromis niloticus, were compared at two stocking densities (two and four fish m-2). ...
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) ...

This annual report provides key results and learning achieved during 2018 in the CGIAR Research Program on Fish Agri-Food Systems (FISH). FISH made significant progress during the year in (a) producing and disseminating a ...
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%). ...
