Genomic architecture of selection for adaptation to challenging environments in aquaculture
Type: Thesis
Aquaculture, including freshwater and marine farming, has been important for global fish production during the past few decades. However, climate change presents a major risk threatening both quality and quantity of ...
CGIAR Research Program on Fish Agri-Food Systems - Annual Report 2021
Type: Report
This 2021 annual report describes the key achievements of the CGIAR Research Program (CRP) on Fish Agri-Food Systems (FISH). During 2021, FISH focused on several key areas to achieve a successful and impactful closure of ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
