Title: Genetic Stock Improvement of the Gift Strain in Bangladesh
Author/Creator: Hussain, M G | Kohinoor, A H M | Nguyen, N H | Ponzoni, R W
Description: Tilapia is globally recognized as one of the most important aquaculture species of the 21st century. Culture of tilapias has expanded rapidly under a wide range of farming environments from extensive to intensive scale in both fresh and brackish water in Asia and many other countries of the world including Bangladesh. The world’s total tilapia production was forecasted that it would be reached 3.70 million tones by the end 2010. In case of Bangladesh, it is estimated that the tilapia production in 2010 would be more than 1.00 million tones. Tilapias will be the prime culture species in different water ecosystems at various production scales (small, medium and commercial scales) in Bangladesh. This has led to a great demand in terms of both quantity and quality of tilapia seeds in the country. To meet this growing demand, Bangladesh Fisheries Research Institute (BFRI) has undertaken research work to further improve performance of the GIFT strain (Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia) through combined family selection with the technical assistance of The WorldFish Center, Malaysia.
