Better management practices for monosex tilapia seed production: An illustrated guide (edition 2)

This booklet explains the better management practices (BMP) for producing high-quality genetically improved farmed tilapia (GIFT) monosex seed. These simple and low-cost methods have been tested and proven over five years of research and development in Timor-Leste. The goal is to support the scaling of fish farming to contribute to food and nutrition security. The booklet is intended as a resource for governments, I/NGOs and private sectors involved in tilapia seed production and grow-out systems in the tropics across the Asia-Pacific region. Note, these practices may need some adjustments to adapt to the local agro-ecological and environmental contexts. The booklet was developed under the Partnership for Aquaculture Development in Timor-Leste Phase 2 project (2020-2024) funded by the New Zealand Aid Programme. The project is implemented by WorldFish in partnership with the Timor-Leste Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, Fisheries, and Forestry (MALFF). The program is supported by contributors to the CGIAR Trust Fund.
