Heritable variation in swimming performance in Nile tilapia
Evaluation of swimming in Nile tilapia shows critical swimming speed is heritable and can predict fish growth performance.
Responsibility
Analysis of a tilapia fingerlings biofloc farm showed it had emergy indicator values characteristic of potentially sustainable production.
Health & Welfare
Evaluation of swimming in Nile tilapia shows critical swimming speed is heritable and can predict fish growth performance.
Aquafeeds
Evaluating off-flavor depuration time in Nile tilapia shows it is strongly reduced when farmers adopt a practice of feeding the fish.
Aquafeeds
Exogenous enzymes phytase and a xylanase-β-glucanase mixture can, individually or combined, improve growth performance of juvenile Nile tilapia.
Aquafeeds
Inclusion of yeast-fermented poultry byproduct meal in Nile tilapia diets, at rates ranging from 11 to 25 percent, improved fish growth and health.
Aquafeeds
Nutritional study with Nile tilapia compared three microalgal diets to a reference diet containing fishmeal and fish oil levels found in commercial feed.
Aquafeeds
An assessment of the effect of type of dietary non-starch polysaccharides (NSPs) on the productivity of tilapia cultured in ponds.
Responsibility
Trial evaluates the productive performance of Nile tilapia juveniles reared at high density using water reused from prior biofloc technology cultures.
Intelligence
Study evaluates Nile tilapia in monoculture and polyculture with giant freshwater prawns in biofloc and recirculating aquaculture (RAS) conditions.
Intelligence
Study assesses in-pond raceway systems to produce Nile tilapia fed with a diet including U.S. soybean meal under intensive production conditions.
Health & Welfare
Study compares effects of vegetable-based and commercial pellet-based diets on the nutrient assimilation and gastrointestinal microbiota of GIFT tilapia.
Aquafeeds
Study assesses kelp and maize meals as nucleation sites of biofloc formation and tests the products’ effect on the performance of Nile tilapia fingerlings.
Health & Welfare
Developing a whole bacterial cell, autogenous, oil-based vaccine to protect tilapia against infections of the pathogenic bacterium Lactococcus garvieae.
Health & Welfare
Study estimates genetic parameters for host resistance to Tilapia Lake Virus in a Nile tilapia and finds TiLV resistance is highly heritable.
Responsibility
South African veterinarian Gillian Taylor has developed a three-flag system to improve health management and biosecurity for the country’s tilapia farmers.
Intelligence
A study was conducted to evaluate the production of tilapia juveniles vaccinated against Streptococcus agalactiae type B in IPRS raceways.
