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 ...
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, ...
Genetic parameter and genotype by environment interaction for body weight of Oreochromis shiranus
Type: Journal Article
Genetic and phenotypic parameter estimates for tagging and harvest body weights were obtained from the F1 base (377 offspring of 59 full-sib families), F2 (1241 offspring of 52 full- and 33 half-sib families) and F3 (1052 ...
