Approximately 50 years ago, Nile tilapia were accidentally introduced to Brazil, and the decline of pearl cichlid populations, which has been intensified by habitat degradation, in some locations has been associated with the presence of Nile tilapia. There is, however, little strong empirical evidence for the negative interaction of non-native fish populations with native fish populations; such...

Two genetically improved tilapia strains (GIFT and Akosombo) have been created with Oreochromis niloticus (Nile tilapia), which is native to Africa. In particular, GIFT has been shown to be significantly superior to local African tilapia strains in terms of growth rate. While development economists see the potential for food security and poverty reduction in Africa from culture of these new str...

In presence of a decrease in the catch from Infiernillo reservoir, Michoacán-Guerrero, Mexico, age and growth of tilapia Oreochromis aureus (Steindachner 1864) were estimated, as indispensable attributes for fishery management. Evaluations included scales and opercular bones readings and length frequency analysis. The population structure was determined too. Due to the great variation of tilapi...

The objective of this paper was to develop a mechanistic-based framework to explicitly incorporate the factors controlling the bioavailability, toxicodynamics and mode of action to enhance predictive ability of arsenic (As) toxicity to protect the health of farmed tilapia Oreochromis mossambicus. We linked the biotic ligand model and damage assessment model to develop a toxicokinetic model for ...

Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers were successfully used in discrimination of sexes in Nile tilapia fish (Oreochromis niloticus) using linear discriminant function analysis. The results provide support for the view that major genetical sex determining factors exist in tilapia.

In the fish farming business, feed is highest operational cost, which reaches more than 60% of total production cost. Therefore, can be processed independently to reduce costs in aquaculture businesses. This study aimed determine survival rate and efficiency red tilapia (Oreochromis sp) fed artificial with addition seaweed (Gracilaria sp). research was carried out from June September 2021 at In...

Carp silver fish is characterized by mating more than once a year and its growth is very fast as it weighs after one year from 1 to 2.5 kg after two years and 4 kg in the third year and up to 15-20 kg after 5 years and the turning cycle 7 months since hatching and even marketing. It is a good economic source of animal protein as it has the ability to convert weeds and grasses and algae in the e...
