WorldFish - Genetic research program
Type: Presentation
WorldFish Genetics Workshop 2022 - presentation on the WorldFish'S genetic research program.
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 ...

Type: Brief
This brief highlights the major project achievements in line with the FISH Research Program strategic goals and indicators. The brief was produced taking as reference the technical report of the project submitted to the ...
GIZ | Scaling systems and partnerships for accelerating the adoption of improved tilapia strains by small-scale fish farmers (SPAITS). Progress report: January to December 2021
Type: Donor Report
Global demand for seafood continues to rise, driven by population growth, higher incomes, urbanization, and increasing preference for aquatic foods. The growth of aquaculture is critical to meet increasing demand for fish. ...

Genetic diversity of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) throughout West Africa
Type: Journal Article
Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is a globally significant aquaculture species rapidly gaining status as a farmed commodity. In West Africa, wild Nile tilapia genetic resources are abundant yet knowledge of fine-scale ...
Closing the yield gap: improving production efficiency in smallholder farms of Nile tilapia through selective breeding
Type: Thesis
The aim of this thesis was to optimise the breeding program of Nile tilapia for a smallholder production system, thereby contributing to closing the yield gap. From Chapter 2 to 4, we generated information that can be used ...
Maximum likelihood parentage assignment using quantitative genotypes
Type: Journal Article
The cost of parentage assignment precludes its application in many selective breeding programs and molecular ecology studies, and/or limits the circumstances or number of individuals to which it is applied. Pooling samples ...
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 ...
Prátika Jestaun Di’ak Liu ba Produsaun Fini Ikan Tipaia Monoseksu: Matadalan ilustrada (Better management practices for monosex tilapia seed production: An illustrated guide)
Type: Manual
The booklet explains the better management practices (BMP) for producing high-quality genetically improved farmed tilapia (GIFT) monosex seed. These simple and low-cost methods have been tested and proven over five years ...
