Growth performance, feed utilization and gonad development of diploid and triploid Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus
Type: Journal Article
A 16 week experiment was conducted to evaluate growth performances, gonads development, carcass and proximateanalysis of diploid and triploid Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus.
Growth and survival rate of three genetic groups fed 28% and 34% protein diets
Type: Journal Article
The strain by nutrition interaction in body weight and survival rate was examined by testing three genetic groups (Selection and Control lines of the GIFT strain, and Red tilapia) at two levels of protein in the diet (28% ...
Genetic enhancement and conservation of aquatic biodiversity in Africa
Type: Journal Article
There is a pressing need to enhance fish production in Africa through improved farm management and the use of improved fish breeds and/or alien species in aquaculture while at the same time conserve the aquatic genetic ...
Breeding plan for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in Indonesia: individual selection
Type: Report
The International Network on Genetics in Aquaculture (INGA) was established in 1993 with the objective to contribute through collaborative research, to the domestication and sustainable performance of tropical finfish ...

Quantitative genetic parameter estimates for body and carcass traits in a cultured stock of giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) selected for harvest weight in Vietnam
Type: Journal Article
Benefits derived from selective breeding have been demonstrated in livestock and in some fish species, but by contrast, there have been few systematic selection programs reported for shrimps. Improving growth rate has been ...
Performance and nature of genetically improved farmed tilapia: a bioeconomic analysis
Type: Journal Article
The International Center for Living Aquatic Resources Management (ICLARM), in collaboration with its partner organizations, has developed an improved strain of Nile tilapia (known as the GIFT strain) which shows superior ...
