The objective of the current experiment was to examine seinability of four strains of Nile tilapia, O. niloticus, GIFT and Egypt 92, Egypt 88 and Sudan 78. The latter two are normally utilized in China.
Prátika Jestaun Di’ak Liu ba Produsaun Fini Ikan Tipaia Monoseksu: Matadalan ilustrada (Better management practices for monosex tilapia seed production: An illustrated guide)
Type: Manual
The booklet explains the better management practices (BMP) for producing high-quality genetically improved farmed tilapia (GIFT) monosex seed. These simple and low-cost methods have been tested and proven over five years ...
Quantifying the genetic parameters of feed efficiency in juvenile Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus
Type: Journal Article
Improving feed efficiency in fish is crucial at the economic, social and environmental levels with respect to developing a more sustainable aquaculture. The important contribution of genetic improvement to achieve this ...
Genetic diversity and selective breeding of red common carps in China
Type: Journal Article
China has a very rich genetic diversity in common carp (Cyprinus carpio) and the red common carp plays an important role in Chinese aquaculture and genetic studies. Selective breeding, particularly crossbreeding has been ...
Are trunk lateral line anomalies and disoriented scale patterns in European seabass (Dicentrarchus labrax) influenced by genetics?
Type: Journal Article
Different kinds of defects are observed on farmed fish, and while a lot of research has concentrated on skeletal abnormalities, little is known on scale anomalies. In this paper, a survey for lateral line shape anomalies ...
