A comparison of communal and separate rearing of families in selective breeding of common carp (Cyprinus carpio): Estimation of genetic parameters
Type: Journal Article
The objective of this study was to investigate ways of improving the selective breeding program for growth related traits in common carp in Vietnam. A base population was established from six carp stocks following a single ...
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 ...
Genetic diversity in wild stocks of the giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii): implications for aquaculture and conservation
Type: Journal Article
The giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) is cultured widely around the world but little is known about the levels and patterns of genetic diversity in either wild or cultured stocks. Studies have suggested ...
Breeding plan for silver barb (Puntius gonionotus) in Vietnam: individual (mass) selection to improve growth rate
Type: Report
Silver 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 ...
Genetic and non-genetic indirect effects for harvest weight in the GIFT strain of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
The main objective of this study was to quantify the heritable variation for growth rate of GIFT, and the contribution of IGEs to this heritable variation. Here we describe the experiment conducted for this purpose, and ...
Breeding plan for mrigal (Cirrhinus mrigala) in Vietnam: individual (mass) selection to improve growth rate
Type: Report
The 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 ...
Mass selection for increased body weight at harvest over five generations in silver barb, Puntius gonionotus
Type: Conference Paper
Silver barb (Puntius gonionotus Bleeker 1850) is an Asian carp that is popular as a food fish. It is distributed throughout Thailand in rivers, canals, reservoirs and swamps. It is also cultured in ponds and paddy fields. ...
