dc.description.abstractAt the National Aquaculture Research and Development Centre (NARDC) in Kitwe, Zambia, the Genetic Improvement Program (GIP) has made significant progress, achieving a 12.6% improvement in fish growth from the original breeding stock (first generation) to the next generation (G0 to G1), far exceeding the initial target of 7.5%. This breakthrough means faster-growing fish, higher yields for farmers, and greater profitability, ultimately strengthening Zambia’s aquaculture sector.en_US
