Effects of rearing conditions on low temperature tolerance of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, juveniles
(2004)Type: Conference ProceedingsThis paper summarizes the results of two experiments in which the effects of genotype, age, size, condition factor and diet (natural phytoplankton versus formulated protein pellets) on low-temperature tolerance of juvenile ... -
Factors affecting early growth of Nile tilapia fry in hapa-in-pond environments
(2005)Type: ReportHapas, usually suspended in fertilized ponds, have long been used for tilapia fry production (Santiago et al., 1985; Bhujel, 1997) and recently for fry rearing. In fish breeding programs, members of a full-sib family usually ... -
Genetic and environmental factors affecting growth of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) juveniles: Modelling spatial correlations between hapas
(2006)Type: Journal ArticleThe aim of this study was to quantify the environmental and genetic effects on early growth of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus. -
Heritability of cold tolerance in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus juveniles
(2005)Type: Journal ArticleThe inability of tilapia to tolerate low temperatures is of major economic concern as it reduces their growing season and leads to over winter mortality. In this study, cold tolerance of juvenile Nile tilapia, Oreochromis ... -
Mating systems and male reproductive success in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus): a microsatelite analysis
(2006)Type: Journal ArticleFry production in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus is typically achieved by mass spawning of males and females stocked in large hapas suspended in ponds. In such spawning aggregations, territorial behavior and reproductive ...
