... Research reporting user trait preferences for fish, particularly in relation to guiding genetic improvement programs are rare, even in tilapia where demand for genetically improved fish has underpinned the expansion of fish farming. The present study investigated gender-disaggregated trait preferences for tilapia by fish farmers in Bangladesh using open-ended questions and stated choice experiment ...

Abstract:
... Nile tilapia, though a tropical species, is cultured throughout most subtropical regions of the globe, in areas with large seasonal thermal variations. The maintenance of sustained productivity during adverse environmental conditions, such as winter, is a growing area of research effort, including nutritional interventions and seasonal specific diets. The present study aimed at evaluating how the ...
... The binding of flagellin to receptor TLR5 (Toll-like receptor 5) on the cell surface is a prerequisite for the pathogen infection to the body, which has important implication for disease prevention. Unlike mammals, teleost TLR5 exists in two different forms: membrane-bound TLR5M (membrane TLR5, TLR5M) and secreted TLR5S (soluble TLR5, TLR5S). In this study, TLR5M and TLR5S from Nile tilapia (Oreoc ...

Abstract:
... Tilapia is the second most prolific species grown in aquaculture after carp, and is widely grown in >100 countries. Myostatin (MSTN) has been proved to be a negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth. Mutation of MSTN gene resulted in significant increase in both body size and muscle mass in vertebrates, mostly with a species-specific effect. To generate a new strain in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis ...

Abstract:
... Texture profile analysis (TPA) is widely used to evaluate instrumental texture of fish fillets. However, different TPA setting conditions are the main limiting factor for its use as an official method of quality monitoring. Therefore, this study aimed to describe how texturometer settings affect the primary instrumental texture properties of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fillets stored at 4 ...
... Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is a kind of worldwide farmed fish that is commercially cultured in more than a hundred nations. The tilapia dietary faba bean (Vicia faba L.) for 90– 120 d improves muscle quality such as higher muscle hardness and crispiness. However, faba bean contain a wide variety of antinutritional factors such as phenolics, tannins, trypsin inhibitor activity, and phytic acid ...

Abstract:
... The present study was aimed to assess the effects of direct current (DC) on inducing the stage-IV anaesthesia in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Underwater DC of different magnitudes viz., 30, 60, 90 and 200 V applied for 25 sec in all, except 200 V wherein exposure time varied from 15 to 30 sec. Notably, the exposure to 30, 60, and 90 V for 25 sec did not induce anaesthesia; while 200 V DC ...

Abstract:
... Standard metabolic rate (SMR) and maximum metabolic rate (MMR) were determined for Nile tilapia acclimated to six different experimental temperatures from 18 °C to 38 °C. SMR increased exponentially with temperature, from 79.8 mg O₂ kg⁻¹ h⁻¹ at 18 °C, to 255.1 mg O₂ kg⁻¹ h⁻¹ at 38 °C (Q₁₀ = 1.79). The main increase in Q₁₀ occurred within the highest temperature range, whereas in the lower temperat ...

We conducted an extensive and robust analysis of 28 convolutional neural networks (CNN) based methods for the detection and counting of tilapia larvae (Oreochromis niloticus niloticus (Linnaeus, 1758)) in Petri dishes. Experiments were carried out in the western region of Paraná, Brazil, using a smartphone, positioned in a prototype developed especially to support this application. A data set comp ...

... An exotic species, channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus, has been recorded in the ichthyofauna of the Republic of Kazakhstan for the first time. The specimens were caught in the Ili River upstream of the Kapchagai Reservoir in October 2020. Based on repeated findings of Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus and its hatchlings in the Borokhudzir River (a tributary of the Ili River), it has been conclud ...

Abstract:
... The history of tilapia in Hawaii began in the 1950s with the introduction of five species for recreational, research, and commercial purposes (Hida et al., 1962; Szyper et al., 2000). In 2000, the existing tilapia stocks were evaluated for their utility in establishing a tilapia producing industry (Szyper et al., 2000). The study showed that the stocks were inferior in terms of growth when compare ...

... The objectives of this study were to further optimize balance of dietary amino acids (AA) offered to Nile tilapia by investigating the role of dispensable AA (DAA) across the range of indispensable AA (IAA) intakes. The possible limitation of IAA intake in fish consuming diets with high inclusion of crystalline AA (CAA) supplemented to the diets was also confirmed. The basal diet was formulated to ...

... Tripartite motif (TRIM) proteins play a regulatory function in cancer, cell apoptosis and innate immunity. To understand the role of TRIM39 in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), TRIM39 cDNA was isolated. The total length of TRIM39 cDNA was 5025 bp. The deduced OnTRIM39 protein contains 549 amino acids and has conserved domains of the TRIM family, which are the RING, B‐box, coiled‐coil and PRY‐S ...

Abstract:
... Invasive species cause substantial changes to the biodiversity of freshwater systems. The African Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is now widely distributed in tropical freshwaters globally. Despite indications that feral populations can influence native species through competitive effects, direct evidence of competition between Nile tilapia and native species is rare. Moreover, it is not clea ...

... Nanog is one of the well-characterized core transcription factors in pluripotency maintenance network. So far, studies on fishes indicate that the Nanog expression occurs from embryonic 1-cell stage to blastula stage, and is restricted to the gonadal germline cells in adult tissues, which is strikingly different from that in mammals. However, whether this expression profile is conservative in fish ...
