Approaches to national fish breeding programs: pointers from a tilapia pilot study
(1991)Type: Journal ArticleDetails are given of a framework for developing breeding programmes using experience from the Genetic Improvement of Farmed Tilapias project which focussed on Nile tilapias (Oreochromis niloticus ). The following aspects ... -
Breeding plan for mrigal (Cirrhinus mrigala) in Vietnam: individual (mass) selection to improve growth rate
(1996)Type: ReportThe International Network on Genetics in Aquaculture (INGA) was established in 1993 and is being coordinated by the International Center for Living Aquatic Resources Management (ICLARM), with the objective to contribute ... -
Breeding plan for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in Vietnam: combined multi-trait selection
(1996)Type: ReportTotal freshwater aquaculture production in Vietnam in 1995 was about 300 000 tons and total brackish water aquaculture production was about 115 000 tons. Total tilapia production was about 15 000 tons, mainly produced in ... -
Breeding plan for silver barb (Puntius gonionotus) in Vietnam: individual (mass) selection to improve growth rate
(1996)Type: ReportSilver barb (Pontius gonionotus) is widely distributed in Southeast Asia. In addition to Vietnam, the species is found in Thailand, Cambodia, Lao, Malaysia, Indonesia, Bangladesh etc. In Vietnam, the species is abundantly ... -
Can the global adoption of genetically improved farmed fish increase beyond 10%, and how?
(2015)Type: Journal ArticleThe annual production from global aquaculture has increased rapidly from 2.6 million tons or 3.9% of the total supply of fish, shellfish and mollusks in 1970, to 66.7 million tons or 42.2% in 2012, while capture fisheries ... -
Genetic improvement of farmed tilapias: composition and genetic parameters of a synthetic base population of Oreochromis niloticus for selective breeding
(2007)Type: Journal ArticleThe present study is based on data recorded from fish of the third generation of the GIFT project (Genetic Improvement of Farmed Tilapias). The objective of the study was to compose a synthetic base population of Nile ... -
Genetic improvement of farmed tilapias: Genetic parameters for body weight at harvest in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) during five generations of testing in multiple environments
(2012)Type: Journal ArticleThe main objective of this paper was to report more reliable estimates of the genetic variation and the genotype by test environment interaction for harvest body weight in the GIFT population in the Philippines than could ... -
Genetic improvement of farmed tilapias: growth performance in a complete diallel cross experiment with eight strains of Oreochromis niloticus
(1998)Type: Journal ArticleA complete diallel cross experiment was carried out with eight strains of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The strains represented four wild populations collected from various locations in Africa and four populations ... -
Genetic improvement of farmed tilapias: Response to five generations of selection for increased body weight at harvest in Oreochromis niloticus and the further impact of the project
(2017)Type: Journal ArticleSelection for increased body weight at harvest in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) was carried out for five generations from 1991 to 1996, as a part of the project Genetic Improvement of Farmed Tilapias (GIFT). The ... -
Genetic variation in lytic activities of blood serum from Nile tilapia and genetic associations with survival and body weight
(1999)Type: Journal ArticleThe objective of the present investigation was to determine the genetic variation in lysozyme activity and SH activity in blood serum from a family material of Nile tilapia (O. niloticus) and to study the genetic associations ... -
Response to bi-directional selection for frequency of early maturing females in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
(1999)Type: Journal ArticleThe present study was carried out to investigate a simple method for recording the occurrence of early maturing females in Nile tilapia at a fixed time after stocking and to estimate the response to bi-directional selection ... -
