A great deal of information is known regarding the process of sex differentiation in fish, and
the mechanisms involved in primary sex determination are now beginning to be defined. A …

Tilapia is a widely cultured species native to Africa; these fish are prolific breeders and
constitute an economically important fish species supplying higher-quality protein. To meet …

Tilapia culture is currently practised in 95 countries all over the world and the number is
expected to increase. This book discusses in detail the principles and practices of tilapia …

The foundation of quantitative genetics theory was developed during the last century and
facilitated many successful breeding programs for cultivated plants and t-restrial livestock …

The use of monosex fish is intrinsically desirable in a variety of fish species in a range of
aquaculture production systems. The potential advantages sought from their use may …

Although aquaculture as a biological production system has a long history, systematic and
efficient breeding programs to improve economically important traits in the farmed species …

The aim of this review was to highlight the extent to which the genetic technologies are
implemented by the aquaculture industry. The review shows that some of the modern …

We describe the results of a breeding programme for Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus,
incorporating estrogeninduced sex reversal of male to female and progeny testing to …

We have constructed a genetic map for a tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, using DNA markers.
The segregation of 62 microsatellite and 112 anonymous fragment length polymorphisms …

The Nile tilapia is a cultured teleost fish in which males grow faster and larger than females,
and mono-sex culturing could avoid unwanted reproduction during grow-out. Sex control in …
