Abstract
Growth performance and body composition analysis of two distant populations of gift tilapia
Highlights
Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is intensified to get greater yields from less among the most popular farmed fish species area available, the input to output ratio may over the world, only after the carps in rise due to high cost of fish feed
The difference in growth in terms of weight gain observed in this study suggests the genetic diversity present among the two populations, as was reported by [7] within GIFT populations of Malaysia
There was no significant difference in mean Feed conversion ratio (FCR), Specific growth rate (SGR) and K values obtained from both ponds that may be due to the similar environmental conditions present in both ponds throughout the trial period
Summary
Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is intensified to get greater yields from less among the most popular farmed fish species area available, the input to output ratio may over the world, only after the carps in rise due to high cost of fish feed. Tilapia is a hardy fish because it can adapt becomes extremely important to make to wide range of conditions [2] that makes farming more sustainable for small scale it the prime culture species for variety of farmers. Aquaculture production can be increased the world in different settings according to through selective breeding [4] so, in recent cultural and socio-economic conditions [3]. Past genetically improved strains of farm semi-intensive and intensive pond culture tilapia (GIFT) have been produced by are the most adapted systems of tilapia selective breeding over many generations, culture. The purpose of the study was to assess the growth performance and body composition of two commonly used strains of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) labeled as GIFT-Th and GIFT-
