Genetic considerations on acquisition and maintenance of reference populations of tilapia

Abstract
- The maintenance of reference populations of Tilapia is discussed, examining genetic considerations to be taken into account to conserve the gene pool to prevent genetic drift and prevent detrimental levels of inbreeding. The importance of knowledge of the proper effective breeding number and its use in management of the reference population is described.
