Exploring Indonesian aquaculture futures
(2015)Type: ReportAquaculture is the fastest-growing food production sector globally, with production projected to double within the next 15-20 years. Future growth of aquaculture is essential to providing sustainable supplies of fish in ... -
Can the global adoption of genetically improved farmed fish increase beyond 10%, and how?
(2015)Type: Journal ArticleThe annual production from global aquaculture has increased rapidly from 2.6 million tons or 3.9% of the total supply of fish, shellfish and mollusks in 1970, to 66.7 million tons or 42.2% in 2012, while capture fisheries ... -
Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT)
(2015)Type: BriefGenetic improvement through selective breeding has been used for millennia on crops and livestock, but up until the 1980s, little had been done to utilize this process for farmed fish. In response to the inadequate supply ... -
Genetic and non-genetic indirect effects for harvest weight in the GIFT strain of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
(2016)Type: Journal ArticleThe main objective of this study was to quantify the heritable variation for growth rate of GIFT, and the contribution of IGEs to this heritable variation. Here we describe the experiment conducted for this purpose, and ... -
