African Aquaculture: Genetic Resource and Traditional Knowledge Access and Benefit Sharing Measures
Type: Journal Article
Genetic resources are the building blocks for aquaculture breeding programs, biotechnology and conservation. The Convention on Biological Diversity and the Nagoya Protocol are international frameworks for access and benefit ...
Benchmarking Tilapia Aquaculture Systems in Egypt: Synergies, Trade-offs, and Entry Points for Sustainable Development
Type: Conference Proceedings
The growing demand for aquatic foods requires the sustainable intensification of aquaculture systems. However, policy and investment decisions for sustainable intensification of aquaculture systems are often hindered by a ...
WorldFish - Genetic research program
Type: Presentation
WorldFish Genetics Workshop 2022 - presentation on the WorldFish'S genetic research program.
Advancing aquaculture systems productivity through carp genetic improvement project update
Type: Presentation
Ppt on the advancing aquaculture systems productivity through the carp genetic improvement project. The Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Fish and the Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU) held a Bangladesh Aquaculture ...
Chromosome‑level genome sequence of the Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT, Oreochromis niloticus) highlights regions of introgression with O. mossambicus
Type: Journal Article
Background
The Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is the third most important freshwater fish for aquaculture. Its success is directly linked to continuous breeding efforts focusing on production traits such as growth ...
On-farm trials of WorldFish Genetically Improved Rohu
Type: Conference Paper
Rohu Labeo rohita (Hamilton) is an economically and culturally significant aquaculture
species in Bangladesh. However, until recently, genetically improved rohu strains have not
been available to Bangladeshi farmers. In ...
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 ...
European Commission | TRUE-FISH R3.3: Improved protection of biodiversity, in relation to conservation of native species of tilapias in the EAC region. Annual narrative report: September 2021 to June 2022
Type: Donor Report
Tilapia aquaculture systems in EAC region are based on a handful of species, notably Oreochromis niloticus (Nile tilapia). However, there are other wild tilapia species and strains that could be potential candidate species ...
Quantitative trait loci controlling swimming performance and their effect on growth in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
Critical swimming speed (Ucrit) is an important measurement of swimming performance and a good indicator for cardio-respiratory health. It offers a new opportunity to select fish with better fitness. However, the genomic ...
