Tag Oreochromis niloticus

Study assesses kelp and maize meals as nucleation sites of biofloc formation and tests the products’ effect on the performance of Nile tilapia fingerlings. 

Study estimates genetic parameters for host resistance to Tilapia Lake Virus in a Nile tilapia and finds TiLV resistance is highly heritable. 

Study examines impact of an increase in dietary NaCl on nutritional and other physiological processes, and effects on gut microbiome in Nile tilapia. 

Este estudio muestra por primera vez que los juveniles de tilapia del Nilo tienen una preferencia de temperatura para la masculinización por un corto período de tiempo. 

This study shows for the first time that Nile tilapia juveniles have a temperature preference for masculinization for a short period of time.  

This study evaluated replacing fishmeal with a protein-rich and EPA-rich co-product of the marine microalga Nannochloropsis oculate in diets of Nile tilapia. 

Un estudio evaluó los efectos de un producto comercial que incluye tres ácidos orgánicos incorporados en un alimento comercial para alevines de tilapia del Nilo. 

A study tested the effects of a commercial product that includes three organic acids incorporated into a commercial feed for Nile tilapia fingerlings. 

A feeding trial was conducted to evaluate the effects of excess dietary branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), isoleucine (Ile) and leucine (Leu) on the growth performance, feed utilization, and blood parameters of juvenile Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Results of the study suggest no upper limits for proteinogenic BCAAs in feeds for Nile tilapia formulated using practical ingredients.  

A major goal of selective breeding program for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in Egypt is to select for fillet color and fillet weight in response to consumer preferences. 

El cultivo de tilapia en Bangladesh se ha desarrollado considerablemente desde 1999, basada en la cepa de Tilapia Cultivada Genéticamente Mejorada (GIFT) de la tilapia del Nilo (Oreochromis niloticus) introducida de Malasia y en el importante trabajo de investigación del Instituto de Investigaciones Pesqueras de Bangladesh (BFRI). 

Tilapia aquaculture in Bangladesh has developed significantly since 1999, based on the Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT) strain of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) introduced from Malaysia and on the significant genetic improvement research work by the Bangladesh Fisheries Research Institute (BFRI). 

Un estudio con tilapia del Nilo llevado a cabo en jaulas de producción comercial en Brasil mostró el potencial – en ausencia de las amenazas de las principales enfermedades – de un promotor del crecimiento comercial, natural que modula la microbiota (inhibiendo el crecimiento de bacterias patógenas y promoviendo el crecimiento de bacterias beneficiosas) e inhibiendo la detección de quórum. 

A study with Nile tilapia conducted in commercial production cages in Brazil showed the potential – in the absence of major disease threats – of a commercial, natural growth promotor that modulates the microbiota (inhibiting growth of pathogenic bacteria and promoting growth of beneficial bacteria) and inhibits quorum sensing. 

The relationship between production in subtropical earthen ponds of fry suitable for hormonal sex inversion and degree days was quantified for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus; Egypt strain) and blue tilapia (O. aureus).
