Physicochemical parameters of pasta enriched with tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) flour were investigated. Five formulations were prepared with different concentrations of tilapia flour as partial substitute of wheat flour: pasta without tilapia flour (PTF0%), pasta with 6% (PTF6%), 12% (PTF12%), 17% (PTF17%), and 23% (PTF23%) of tilapia flour. The formulations were assessed for proximate compo...

Introduction of sahar in cage-cum-pond integration system of mixed-sex Nile tilapia was evaluated using 15 outdoor cemented ponds of 24 m2 (4.9m × 4.9m) size with 1.25 m water depth placing a cage of 1.2m× 1m × 1m size holding 1 m3 water at the center of each pond at Institute of Agriculture and Animal Science (IAAS), Rampur, Chitwan, for 158 days. The experiment was conducted in a completely r...

An experiment was conducted in eighteen 200-m2 fertilized earthen ponds at the Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand, from March through October 2000. This experiment was designed to assess the efficiency of snakehead (Channa striata) in controlling recruitment of mixed-sex Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in ponds and to assess growth and production characteristics of Nile tilapia in mon...

Research activities on tilapia focused on Oreochromis niloticus and red tilapia. Experiments include developing new experimental and statistical procedures for strain evaluation, development of a stable reference strain, development of a high-yield red tilapia strain through introgressive hybridization, comparison of fish growth in different environments relevant to aquaculture, development of ...

This report examines samples of farms from Honduras departments that have and do not have tilapia ponds as part of their farming systems. Data were obtained through personal interviews with 128 farmers, including 64 tilapia producers, in five departments: Olancho, Intibuca, El Paraíso, Francisco Morazán, and Santa Bárbara. To obtain information about farms without tilapia, farmers were selected...

The NEW GIFT Nile tilapia is a national certificated new strain produced through 14 years and 9 generations selection from the base strain of GIFT Nile tilapia. From NEW GIFT Nile tilapia two strain-specific RAPD bands namely S304 and S36 were identified from the amplified bands of 50 and 80 10bp-oligo-nucleotide random primers separately after gel extraction cloning and sequencing of the strai...

Shih-Ling Huang, Wei-Cheng Chen, Mei-Chuan Shei, I-Chiu Liao and Shiu-Nan Chen (1999) Studies on epizootiology and pathogenicity of Staphylococcus epidermidis in Tilapia (Oreochromis spp.) cultured in Taiwan. Zoological Studies 38(2): 178-188. This paper describes the epizootiology of a disease of tilapia with clinical signs that include white nodules and microscopic granulomatous formations. D...

Tilapia is a very common aquaculture species in Taiwan and both the so-called freshwater tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and seawater tilapia (O. mossambica) are available. In order to characterize muscle tropomyosin from these tilapia and hybrid ones (O. mossambica × O. niloticus ), the biochemical properties of tropomyosin among these tilapia species were analysed. The nucleotide sequences of...

BACKGROUND The tilapia family of the Cichlidae includes many fish species, which live in freshwater and saltwater environments. Several species, such as O. niloticus, O. aureus, and O. mossambicus, are excellent for aquaculture because these fish are easily reproduced and readily adapt to diverse environments. Historically, tilapia species, including O. mossambicus, S. melanotheron, and O. aure...

The red color pattern in some strains of tilapia has added commercial value in some markets. Although red tilapia may be more marketable, questions have arisen regarding its value as a culture fish. El Gamal (1987) reported that during growout from 130 to 262 g, a red strain of tilapia had significantly lower survival than Oreochromis aureus x Oreochromis aureus and Oreochromis niloticus x Oreo...
