Type: Donor Report
This report provides results from an “Assessment of the Conditions for Genetic Improvement in East Africa: Genetic Performance, Organisational Capacity and Policy”, conducted by WorldFish for Msingi. The study focuses on ...
Genotype-by-culture-system interaction in catla and silver carp: Monoculture and biculture
Type: Journal Article
Catla (Catla catla) and silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) are globally significant aquaculture species, primarily grown in polyculture. The objectives of the current study were to i) quantify genetic differences ...
Fluctuations in growth are heritable and a potential indicator of resilience in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
Resilience can be defined as the capacity of an animal to be minimally affected by perturbations or to quickly recover to the state it had before the perturbation. When applied to production animals, resilience is defined ...
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 ...
Guidelines for managing the risks of introductions and transfers of Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT)
Type: Tool
The risk management guidelines have been prepared to help move GIFT into any country or territory where risk analysis shows minimal risks using the highest safety standards and where cost-benefit analysis shows economic ...
Dissemination and scaling strategy for genetically improved farmed tilapia (GIFT) in India, 2020–2030
Type: Internal Report
A strategy for GIFT dissemination and scaling in India is imperative to ensuring that the positive changes in policy and the increased efforts and investments in the tilapia industry succeed to scale impacts of GIFT adoption. ...
Fish trait preferences: a review of existing knowledge and implications for breeding programmes
Type: Journal Article
Continued growth of the aquaculture sector will rely on the availability of fish with traits that respond to the needs and preferences of these users along the value chain. Such trait responsiveness requires that fish ...
A systematic quantitative literature review of aquaculture genetic resource access and benefit sharing
Type: Journal Article
The Convention on Biological Diversity provides a framework for countries to implement laws regulating the access, use and exchange of genetic resources, including how users and providers share the benefits from their use. ...
Sibship assignment to the founders of a Bangladeshi Catla catla breeding population
Type: Journal Article
In terms of quantity produced, Catla catla is the sixth most important finfish aquaculture species produced globally in 2015. It is primarily grown in South Asia, often on a small scale in polyculture with other species. ...
