Responsibility
This demonstration project featuring in-pond raceway system technology in one raceway at a commercial red tilapia farm in Honduras showed the potential for increasing production with no water exchange.
Responsibility
A new breeding program for genetic improvement of red tilapia was established at the Fish Research Center (FRC), Suez Canal University, in Ismailia, Egypt. It aims to improve the growth rate of the fish and to provide significant benefits to tilapia farmers.
Health & Welfare
In a study of the effects of interaction between genotype and dietary protein levels on fish performance, GIFT tilapia had greater growth than red hybrids fed diets with equal or higher protein levels.
