Fish genetics research in member countries and institutions of the International Network on Genetics in Aquaculture: Proceedings of the Fifth Steering Committee Meeting of INGA
Type: Conference Proceedings
A conference proceedings of the Fifth Steering Committee Meeting of the International Network on Genetics in Aquaculture (INGA), this publication incorporates information drawn from aquaculture genetics research undertaken ...
Differences in sexual size dimorphism among farmed tilapia species and strains undergoing genetic improvement for body weight
Type: Journal Article
Many tilapia (Oreochromis spp.) farmers produce all-male populations because of the superior growth rate of males compared to females. To investigate differences in body weight at harvest of males and females among different ...
Farmed tilapia: A nutritious food source for Egypt
Type: Poster
Infographic on farmed tilapia as a nutritious food source in Egypt.
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.
Fish for a food secure and prosperous Egypt
Type: Poster
Infographic on farmed tilapia as a nutritious food source in Egypt.
Relative performance of two Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus Linnaeus) strains in Egypt: The Abbassa selection line and the Kafr El Sheikh commercial strain
Type: Journal Article
The Abbassa selection line (developed by selective breeding) and the Kafr El Sheikh commercial strain (widely used in Egypt), both Oreochromis niloticus, were compared at two stocking densities (two and four fish m-2). ...
Estimates of phenotypic and genetic parameters for carcass traits in Nile Tilapia selected for fast growth in low-input conditions
Type: Other
Nile tilapia is sold as either un-gutted or gutted whole carcasses, or as depending on geographical location. In whichever state the is sold, meat yield is an important consideration. Although carcass traits are of economic ...
Development of Diversity Arrays Technology markers as a tool for rapid genomic assessment in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus
Type: Journal Article
The development of genomic markers is described for Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, using the Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) genotype-by-sequencing platform. A total of 13 215 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) ...
Benchmarking the environmental performance of best management practice and genetic improvements in Egyptian aquaculture using life cycle assessment
Type: Journal Article
Egyptian aquaculture is gaining importance as an affordable and nutritious source of animal protein among Egyptians. Nile tilapia dominates production (77% of total production), followed by carps (17%) and mullets (11%). ...
Selective breeding for increased body weight in a synthetic breed of Egytian Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus: response to selection and genetic parameters
Type: Journal Article
Selection for harvest weight was performed in a fully pedigreed synthetic line of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in Egypt for two generations. Records were available over three spawning seasons (2002, 2003 and 2004) ...
