Performance and nature of genetically improved carp strains in Asian countries
Type: Journal Article
The WorldFish Center and its research partners have recently made efforts to develop genetically improved carp strains. This paper analyses the comparative performance of the genetically improved carp strains on both average ...
Genetic improvement of farmed aquatic animals at the WorldFish Center
Type: Brief
Aquaculture is the fastest growing food production sector in the world today, supplying half of global fish consumption. Production from capture fisheries has stagnated and is unable to meet the anticipated growth in demand. ...
Quantitative genetic basis of fatty acid composition in the GIFT strain of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) selected for high growth
Type: Journal Article
The quantitative genetic basis of fatty acid composition was examined in the Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT) strain of Nile tilapia selected for high breeding value for body weight and in the contemporaneous ...
Correlated response in fillet weight and yield to selection for increased harvest weight in genetically improved farmed tilapia (GIFT strain), Oreochromis niloticus
Type: Journal Article
A data set consisting of 5532 slaughter records collected over three generations from a selection program for increased harvest body weight in the GIFT strain of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) was used to estimate ...
Inbreeding and effective population size in the Malaysian nucleus of the GIFT strain of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
A fully pedigreed population of the GIFT (Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia) strain of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) was established in Malaysia during 2001 and 2002. The selection program was focused on the ...
Genetics of adaptation in rainbow trout: a multi disciplinary approach
Type: Conference Paper
Ability of fish to adapt to changing environments and stressors is a key trait for breeders, especially when they sell eggs or young fish all over the world. So far, this ability has not been introduced in any breeding ...
Genetic analysis of the GIFT strain (Nile Tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus) in Malaysia
Type: Conference Paper
The Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT) strain is well known worldwide because of its high performance. A first phase of the project ended in 1997 after five generations of selection. In 2002, the GIFT population ...
Genetics of flesh quality in fish
Type: Conference Paper
Flesh quality has gained importance among consumers and in the aquaculture industry because it is directly related to human health and nutrition. Flesh quality comprises several different (freshness, appearance, smell, ...
