Use of internal reference population for growth rate comparison of tilapia strains. I. In a crowded environment
(1990)
This paper reports an experimental design in which reference fish are included in each replicate to provide internal statistical control over environmental variation. Growth of 10 full-sib families from each of 3 strains ...
Test of size-specific mass selection for Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus L., cage farming in the Philippines
(John Wiley and Sons, 1999)
One generation of mass selection based on the collimation procedure (early culling of large fry) was applied on Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus L., in net cages set in Laguna de Bay, Philippines. The objective was to ...
A statistical power analysis of the 'internal reference' technique for comparing growth and growth depensation of tilapia strains
(Wiley-Blackwell, 1996)
Experiments were conducted to compare the growth and growth compensation of three strains of juvenile Oreochromis niloticus. Ten full sib families (10 replicates) per strain were split and grown under crowded and uncrowded ...
Selective diversification of aquaculture stocks: A proposal for economically sustainable genetic conservation
(NRC Research Press, 1991)
The genetic diversity of aquaculture stocks can be maintained, and their genetic impact on wild stocks minimized, by breeding programmes that deliberately generate genetic diversity. Current animal breeding practices are ...
