African Aquaculture: Genetic Resource and Traditional Knowledge Access and Benefit Sharing Measures
Type: Journal Article
Genetic resources are the building blocks for aquaculture breeding programs, biotechnology and conservation. The Convention on Biological Diversity and the Nagoya Protocol are international frameworks for access and benefit ...
Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) reveal sibship among founders of a Bangladeshi Rohu (Labeo rohita) breeding population
Type: Journal Article
Rohu (Labeo rohita) is a significant freshwater aquaculture species with approximately 1.8 Mt produced annually. Fin clips obtained from the founders of a newly established Bangladesh-based breeding population (∼140 fish ...
A major quantitative trait locus affecting resistance to Tilapia lake virus in farmed Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Type: Journal Article
Enhancing host resistance to infectious disease has received increasing attention in recent years as a major goal of farm animal breeding programs. Combining field data with genomic tools can provide opportunities to ...
A high-quality chromosome-level genome assembly of rohu carp, Labeo rohita, and its utilization in SNP-based exploration of gene flow and sex determination
Type: Journal Article
Labeo rohita (rohu) is a carp important to aquaculture in South Asia, with a production volume close to Atlantic salmon. While genetic improvements to rohu are ongoing, the genomic methods commonly used in other aquaculture ...
The Effects of feed restriction and isolated or group rearing on the measurement of individual feed intake and estimation of feed conversion ratio in juvenile Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) for selective breeding purposes
Type: Journal Article
Accurately measuring the phenotype at the individual level is critical to the success of selective breeding programs. Feed efficiency is a key sustainability trait and is typically approached through feed conversion ratio ...
Performance evaluation of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) improved strains in Ghana
Type: Journal Article
Growth performance and survival to harvest of the Akosombo strain generation 10 and the GIFT strain generation two (derived from GIFT generation 11 in Malaysia) were evaluated in Ghana. The fish were from 96 families of ...
Measuring individual feed efficiency and its correlations with performance traits in Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus
Type: Journal Article
Estimating individual feed intake of fish held in groups has long been a challenge precluding precise knowledge of the individual variation of feed efficiency (FE) in fish. In this study, counts of the number of feed pellets ...
Chromosome‑level genome sequence of the Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT, Oreochromis niloticus) highlights regions of introgression with O. mossambicus
Type: Journal Article
Background
The Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is the third most important freshwater fish for aquaculture. Its success is directly linked to continuous breeding efforts focusing on production traits such as growth ...
Population, temperature and feeding rate effects on individual feed efficiency in European Sea Bass (Dicentrarchus labrax)
Type: Journal Article
Using breeding programs to improve feed efficiency, the ratio between fish body weight gain (BWG) and feed intake (FI), could increase aquaculture sustainability through reduced feed costs and environmental impact. To this ...
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 ...
