Manual on genetic improvement of farmed tilapia (GIFT) research methodologies
Type: Manual
Gathering and recording of biological data vital to experiments in a genetic improvement program should be carried out with efficiency, precision and accuracy. This is important in order to avoid marking erroneous conclusion ...
Applied genetics of tilapias
Type: Working Paper
The present world production of tilapias is relatively low, despite their high potential for aquaculture. Most research efforts towards their husbandry have been aimed at solving the major problem in tilapia culture, ...
Genetics of adaptation in rainbow trout: a multi disciplinary approach
Type: Conference Paper
Ability of fish to adapt to changing environments and stressors is a key trait for breeders, especially when they sell eggs or young fish all over the world. So far, this ability has not been introduced in any breeding ...
Individual growth monitoring of European sea bass larvae by image analysis and microsatellite genotyping
Type: Journal Article
The aims of the present study were to develop non-lethal methods to identify individual fish larvae and post-larvae before tagging and accurately follow their growth characteristics. European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) ...
Preservation of genetic diversity in restocking of the sea cucumber Holothuria scabra investigated by allozyme electrophoresis
Type: Journal Article
Population genetics analyses should be considered when releasing hatchery-produced juveniles of the sea cucumber Holothuria scabra when spawners from nonlocal populations are used. In New Caledonia, within-region genetic ...
PmPPAF is a pro-phenoloxidase activating factor involved in innate immunity response of the shrimp Penaeus monodon
Type: Journal Article
One of the major steps in the innate immune response of shrimp includes the activation of serine proteinases of the pro-phenoloxidase pathway by the prophenoloxidase activation enzyme (PPAF). In this study, the cDNA encoding ...
Threatened cyprinid species in Asia
Type: Book Chapter
Despite the considerable potential for continued growth in cyprinid aquaculture production in Asia, there are increasing concerns about the status of native cyprinids especially those that are important to aquaculture in ...
Genetic Improvement of Farmed Tilapias (GIFT) phase II (January 1993 to December 1997): plan of project activities - year 2 (January to December 1994)
Type: Report
The GIFT project is a major strategic research initiative in applied genetics and breeding in tropical aquaculture. The Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) was selected as a pilot species for the GIFT project because of ...
Exploitation and conservation of fish genetic resources in Africa: issues and priorities for aquaculture development and research
Type: Journal Article
Africa harbours a rich biological diversity of native fish resources. Recognition of the potential to use these resources to make significant contributions towards improving African food security through aquaculture has ...
Tilapia genetic resources for aquaculture
Type: Conference Proceedings
Tilapia culture in Asia and other non African countries is practiced on a narrow genetic base. In contrast, African countries, many of which need assistance to develop their own aquaculture sectors, hold the global wealth ...
