Lessons from the breeding program on common carp in Hungary
Type: Conference Paper
Common carp is one of the most important cultured freshwater fish species in the world. Its production in freshwater areas is the second largest in Europe after rainbow trout. Common carp production in Europe was 146,845 ...
Farm-economics of genetically improved carp strains in major Asian countries and carp seed price policy model
Type: Journal Article
The study has conducted the micro level analysis of hatchery operators, fishseed-rearing farmers and carp farmers with respect to their socio-economic characteristics, infrastructural development, husbandry practices and ...
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 ...
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 ...
Socioeconomics of disseminating genetically improved Nile tilapia in Asia: an introduction
Type: Journal Article
The International Center for Living Aquatic Resources Management (ICLARM) undertook a major strategic research project known as the "Genetic Improvement of Farmed Tilapias" (GIFT), with funding support from the United ...
Lessons from established breeding programs: terrestrial and aquatic animals
Type: Book Chapter
Some relevant components of selection program theory and implementation are reviewed. This includes pedigree recording, genetic evaluation, balancing genetic gains and genetic diversity and tactical integration of key ...
Potential applications of reproductive and molecular genetic technologies in the selective breeding of aquaculture species
Type: Conference Paper
The use of reproductive and genetic technologies can increase the efficiency of selective breeding programs for aquaculture species. Four technologies are considered, namely: marker-assisted selection, DNA fingerprinting, ...
Breeding program requirements in developing countries may differ depending on circumstances
Type: Book Chapter
Aquaculture in developing countries is largely based on unimproved fish strains. There is ample evidence indicating the potential of genetic improvement programs and a range of selection methods may be used. Examples of ...
Genetic management of aquaculture stocks in sub-Saharan Africa
Type: Report
This document is a report of a workshop on genetic resource management in sub-Saharan Africa.
The status of introduced carp species in Asia
Type: Book Chapter
The Asian countries, in particular Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam, have vast carp genetic resources that are an important element of their aquaculture production systems. Hence, in recent years, ...
