Tilapias are the second most farmed fish worldwide. Production of tilapia has quadrupled
over the past decade because of the ease with which they are cultured, their marketability …

Tilapias are the second largest group of fish produced worldwide, due to their great plasticity
and ideal aquaculture traits, particularly the Nile tilapia. On most tilapia farms, sex control is …

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 …

The desirability of monosex populations for tilapia culture is well established. Grow-out of
monosex male populations prevents or minimizes recruitment and thereby competition …

Abstract Background Tilapias (Family Cichlidae) are the second most important group of
aquaculture species in the world. They have been the subject of much research on sex …

Tilapia culture has been growing over the past decades as an excellent source of high-
quality protein. Some of the Tilapias advantages are the ability to breed and produce new …

Genetically improved farmed tilapia (GIFT) and GIFT-derived strains account for the majority
of farmed tilapia worldwide. As male tilapias grow much faster than females, they are often …

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 …

Genetic manipulation of predominantly monofactorial sex determining mechanisms in the
Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus is proposed as a technology for the mass production of all …

Tilapia hybrids have demonstrated impressive grow out potential using a wide variety of
commercial and agricultural by-products as diets. The opportunity of stocking all-male …
