Considerations about effective dissemination of improved fish strains (in Arabic)
Type: Working Paper
Aquaculture production systems in developing countries are largely based on the use of unimproved species and strains. As knowledge and experience are accumulated in relation to the management, feeding and animal health ...
Potential of genetics for aquaculture development in Africa
Type: Journal Article
Aquaculture in Africa is fairly insignificant by world standards and accounts for a mere 0.4 per cent of global aquaculture production. The application of genetics can play an important role in efforts to increase aquaculture ...
Selection for growth of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus L.) in low-input environments
Type: Thesis
This thesis is a part of Wageningen University’s Interdisciplinary Research and Education Fund project entitled “Optimization of nutrient dynamics and fish for integrated agriculture- aquaculture systems” (INREF-POND). The ...
GIFT: the story since leaving ICLARM (now known as the WorldFish Center): socioeconomic, access and benefit sharing and dissemination aspects
Type: Report
The aim of the overall project of which this report is part is to identify possible solutions for regulating access to aquatic genetic resources and legal protection of the results of research and development in aquaculture ...
The Second International Symposium on Tilapia in Aquaculture
Type: Conference Proceedings
Proceedings of the symposium held in 1987 in Bangkok, Thailand, by tilapia scientists to discuss strategies for future research and development in the tilapia industry worldwide. Contains 82 full papers, 17 poster abstracts ...
Genetic variation in lytic activities of blood serum from Nile tilapia and genetic associations with survival and body weight
Type: Journal Article
The objective of the present investigation was to determine the genetic variation in lysozyme activity and SH activity in blood serum from a family material of Nile tilapia (O. niloticus) and to study the genetic associations ...
Stock improvement of silver barb (Barbodes gonionotus Bleeker) through several generations of genetic selection
Type: Journal Article
This paper reports stock improvement of silver barb (Barbodes gonionotus Bleeker) using selective breeding techniques and presents the results of three generations of growth performance between selected and nonselected ...
Genetic improvement and effective dissemination: keys to prosperous and sustainable aquaculture industries
Type: Book Chapter
There is an increasing demand for fish in the world due to a growing population, better economic situation in some sectors, and greater awareness of health issues in relation to food. Since capture fisheries have stagnated, ...
Genetic analysis of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) selection line reared in two input environments
Type: Journal Article
Ascertaining the appropriate selection environment for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in Africa is a critical issue. Two data sets derived from two selection lines originating from a common base population were ...
Performances of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) selected for high growth rate after three generations
Type: Journal Article
A selective breeding study for live weight based on a fully pedigreed population of GIFT (Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia) strain was carried out at the Aquaculture Extension Centre, Department of Fisheries, Jitra, ...
