Fish for a food secure and prosperous Egypt
Type: Poster
Infographic on farmed tilapia as a nutritious food source in Egypt.
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 ...
Can sexual dimorphism and body shape be altered in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) by genetic means?
Type: Journal Article
The objective of this study was to estimate genetic parameters in GIFT (Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia), especially focusing on the genetic correlation between trait expressions in both sexes and among measurements ...
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). ...
Response to bi-directional selection for frequency of early maturing females in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
The present study was carried out to investigate a simple method for recording the occurrence of early maturing females in Nile tilapia at a fixed time after stocking and to estimate the response to bi-directional selection ...
Species composition in the Molobicus hybrid tilapia strain
Type: Journal Article
The “Molobicus” hybrid breeding programme was initiated to improve tilapia growth performance in brackish water. The base population was created by backcrossing F1 Oreochromis niloticus GIFT strains × feral O. mossambicus ...
Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT)
Type: Brief
Genetic improvement through selective breeding has been used for millennia on crops and livestock, but up until the 1980s, little had been done to utilize this process for farmed fish. In response to the inadequate supply ...
Tilapia: The plain truth (Khmer version)
Type: Poster
This infographic is an overview of tilapia as a nutritious inexpensive and environmentally friendly food.
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: June 2022 to May 2023
Type: Donor Report
This report outlines the results and milestones achieved by WorldFish in implementing actions to meet the objectives of TRUEFISH Result Area 3.3 (Improved protection of biodiversity), from June 2022 to May 2023.
From drawing board to dining table: the success story of the GIFT project
Type: Journal Article
As compared to crops and livestock, the genetic enhancement of fish is in its infancy. While significant progress has been achieved in the genetic improvement of temperate fish such as salmonids, no efforts were made until ...
