Type: Journal Article
Tilapia are the 3rd most cultured aquaculture species in global aquaculture, produced in over 170 countries. Bangladesh is the world's fourth-largest tilapia producer and yet only few studies have been conducted to understand ...
Tilapia aquaculture systems in Egypt: Characteristics, sustainability outcomes and entry points for sustainable aquatic food systems
Type: Journal Article
The future demand for fish and other aquatic foods requires the sustainable intensification of related production systems. However, policy and investment decisions for the sustainable intensification of aquaculture systems ...
Efficacy and safety of boric acid as a preventive treatment against Saprolegnia infection in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
Saprolegniosis is a worldwide fungal-like infection affecting freshwater fishes and their eggs. Reports show high mortalities and subsequent economic losses annually from Saprolegnia infections. Most therapeutants against ...
How to enhance the sustainability and inclusiveness of smallholder aquaculture production systems in Zambia?
Type: Journal Article
Fish is a key source of income, food, and nutrition in Zambia, although unlike in the past, capture fisheries no longer meet the national demand for fish. Supply shortfalls created an opportunity to develop the aquaculture ...
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 ...
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 ...
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, ...
From the basics to emerging diagnostic technologies: What is on the horizon for tilapia disease diagnostics?
Type: Journal Article
Tilapia is an affordable protein source farmed in over 140 countries with the majority of production in low- and middle-income countries. Intensification of tilapia farming has exacerbated losses caused by emerging and ...
Understanding the economic and farming practices driving species selection in aquaculture within the Mymensingh division of Bangladesh
Type: Journal Article
Aquaculture is a major supplier of animal protein for Bangladesh’s population, and the Mymensingh division is a major contributor to finfish aquaculture, producing 43% of the total pond pangasius and 9% of the total amount ...
Relationships between pond water and tilapia skin microbiomes in aquaculture ponds in Malawi
Type: Journal Article
Intensification of fish farming practices is being driven by the demand for increased food production to support a rapidly growing global human population, particularly in lower-middle income countries. Intensification of ...
