Two strains of Nile tilapia, Oreochromis niloticus, were developed
through mass and pedigreed selection techniques. Performance of the
mass-selected line has been tested against a control and commercial
lines used by the farmers. On station testing indicated an
improvement of 35% over the control, the base population, from
which the selected O. niloticus stock was developed. In an initial
farm trial, the improved O. niloticus stock performed 51% better
than the commercial line that is regularly distributed by a
commercial hatchery to the local farmers. Additional farm testing
of the mass-selected line is still in progress. The mass-selected
line is currently being evaluated against the pedigree selected
line. The best candidates will be identified and used in the
pedigree selection program.
