Application of RAPD markers in fish: Part I – some genera (Tilapia, Sarotherodon and Oreochromis) and species (Oreochromis aureus and Oreochromis niloticus) of Tilapia
Random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was applied to the four-tilapia species (three genera): redbelly tilapia (Tilapia zillii), white tilapia (Sarotherodon galilaeus), blue tilapia (Oreochromis aureus) and Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). Twenty random primers – fifteen (10-mer) and five (20-mer) – were used to assay polymorphisms among three genera and between two species. ...

Stocking Tilapia / Aquaculture
Overview: To get a good crop of marketable fish it’s necessary to stock the pond with the correct number of fingerlings. Stocking too few fish may result in fast growth and large fish but this isn’t an economical use of the pond. However, stocking too many fish will result in slow growth and a large number of very small fish. Tilapia For all-male (monosex) culture of tilapia for ...

Mode of Action and Growth Toxicity of Arsenic to Tilapia Oreochromis mossambicus Can Be Determined Bioenergetically
Abstract We present a bioenergetics-based approach to analyze the chronic effects and growth toxicity mode of action in tilapia Oreochromis mossambicus exposed to waterborne As and to predict fish growth under different exposure scenarios. 7-day exposure bioassays showed that tilapia accumulate As when exposed to waterborne As. We conducted growth bioassays to assess chronic As toxicity to ...

What Are The Common Feeds For Tilapia Breeding
Tilapia is a tropical fish native to Africa. There are more than 100 species of tilapia, including subspecies. Tilapia has the characteristics of fast growth, high yield, miscellaneous food, few diseases, and strong reproduction. Tilapia is an omnivorous fish. In natural conditions, the food of tilapia is mainly composed of phytoplankton, zooplankton, benthic organisms and organic debris. In the ...

What Types Of Fish You Can Farm in Nigeria
Fish farming a profitable business in Nigeria, let’s now proceed to decide which specie of fish we want to farm. Below are some of the most popular fish species that is suitable for Aquaculture. 1. Catfish Even though Catfish is not the most popular fish in Nigeria, this fish species is by far the most cultivated in Nigeria. One thing good about catfish is that it is one of the easiest fish ...

Time-Course Variations of DNA Damage and Biomarkers of Oxidative Stress in Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) Exposed to Effluents From a Swine Industry
Abstract DNA damage (Comet assay), lipoperoxidation levels (TBARS), and several biomarkers of oxidative stress such as catalase (CAT), glutathione reductase (GR), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione S-transferase (GST), and contents of reduced (GSH) and total (TG) glutathione were measured in liver and blood (Comet assay) of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) exposed for 7, 15, 30 (subchronic ...

Biomarkers and pollutants in the Nile Tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, in four lakes from San Miguel, Chiapas, Mexico
The effects of the oil industry and environmental pollutants present in four lakes from Reforma, Chiapas, Mexico, were assessed via ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase activity (EROD), PAH metabolites, and butyrylcholinesterase activity (BChE) in Nile Tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus. Fish were collected during two seasons (the rainy season in September 2000 and the dry season in May 2002) from the lakes ...

A functional hydrolysate adds value to feeds for omnivorous fish species
Omnivorous fish species are known to be less demanding in terms of nutritional and palatability requirements and yet dietary hydrolysate supplementation greatly improved production yields and margins. Several biological benefits are associated with protein hydrolysates and they have been used in finfish larval and juvenile diets for several decades now, mainly due to their high palatability and ...

Protective role of dietary N‐acetylcysteine on the oxidative stress induced by cylindrospermopsin in tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
Cylindrospermopsin (CYN) is a toxin produced by various cyanobacteria species. Fish can be exposed to this cyanotoxin in their natural environments and in aquaculture ponds, and toxic effects can be derived. The present study investigated the effects of dietary N‐acetylcysteine (NAC) on the oxidative stress induced by pure CYN and CYN from lyophilized cells of Aphanizomenon ovalisporum in tilapia ...

Ghana Fish Farming and Fish Feed Production
There are two main ways to obtain feed for fish farming in Ghana: locally produced feed and imported feed. However, fish feeds locally produced are in bad quality as most of them are not extruded. Imported feed is appropriately 30% more expensive than locally produced. So importation is not a quick fix. On average the costs for Tilapia farming in Ghana consist of 70% of the feed cost. Therefore, ...

Cultivation of microalgae (
Oscillatoria okeni andChlorella vulgaris ) using tilapia-pond effluent and a comparison of their biomass removal efficiencyThe uptake of dissolved nutrients by microalgae is the primary way to remove nitrogen in aquaculture systems. Many authors have studied the use of microalgae to treat wastewater from aquaculture. However, excessive microalgae accumulation may cause high levels of organic matter and suspended solids in the final effluent. Thus, an efficient way to remove excess algae is needed in wastewater ...

Simulations of nutrient emissions from a net cage aquaculture system in a Brazilian bay
Hydrodynamics and transport simulations were conducted with the modeling software TELEMAC-2D on Icó-Mandantes bay, a branch of the Itaparica reservoir. The bay has a maximal operational water level amplitude of 5 m and is suffering from eutrophication and algae bloom. Therefore, we investigated low and high water level scenarios with two different high resolution meshes, with the purpose to ...

Model of an aquaponic system for minimised water, energy and nitrogen requirements
Water and nutrient savings can be established by coupling water streams between interacting processes. Wastewater from production processes contains nutrients like nitrogen (N), which can and should be recycled in order to meet future regulatory discharge demands. Optimisation of interacting water systems is a complex task. An effective way of understanding, analysing and optimising such ...

Six characteristics of extruded feed
Our country is the world’s largest aquatic feed producer, and its aquatic feed production accounts for about half of the world’s total production. In recent years, among the rapidly developing aquatic feed varieties, extruded feed has developed most rapidly and has become a bright spot and growth point in the aquatic feed industry. However, under the conditions of puffing processing, the ...

Pond fertilization / Aquaculture
Just as fish need good water quality conditions to thrive, they also need an abundant supply of food to grow. We can provide food for our fish in two different ways: We can give them “artificial” feeds that are prepared either commercially or at home, or we can ensure that they have an abundance of natural foods by using fertilizers to increase pond productivity. In either case, it is ...

Harvesting your fish / Aquaculture
With good management, your fish should be ready to harvest within six to nine months after stocking. By this time, tilapia should have reached a size of approximately 250-300g and catfish a size of 250-500g, depending on their size at stocking, the density at which they were stocked, and water temperatures during the growing period. Preparing for the harvest Make marketing arrangements well ...

Aquasend Customers Review Real-Time Monitoring Benefits
Oxygen is one of the most important assets to each aqua farm. Protecting it is critical. These are quotes taken directly from farmers regarding oxygen. "Dissolved oxygen is the most critical water quality parameter in warmwater aquaculture. As we feed fish more and more, the dissolved oxygen will drop lower and lower in the early morning hours. The warmer the temperature, the faster it will drop. ...
