The production of all-red batches of red tilapia fry

Chuah H.P., . and Nor Azman Haji Abdul Ghani, . (1989) The production of all-red batches of red tilapia fry. [Proceedings Paper]

The red tilapia hybrid shows a variety of colour shades and patterns. Colour selection was conducted to produce batches of tilapia which were 100 percent red in terms of red to non-red fry. Breeders chosen from batches in which all the siblings were red gave rise to all-red progenies. Three generations of all-red tilapia were obtained subsequently. Selection of breeders with little or no black spots also gave rise to significantly higher percentages of red tilapia fry: 98.0 percent in ponds where the breeders were selected compared to 62.3 percent in ponds where the breeders were unselected.

Abstract

The red tilapia hybrid shows a variety of colour shades and patterns. Colour selection was conducted to produce batches of tilapia which were 100 percent red in terms of red to non-red fry. Breeders chosen from batches in which all the siblings were red gave rise to all-red progenies. Three generations of all-red tilapia were obtained subsequently. Selection of breeders with little or no black spots also gave rise to significantly higher percentages of red tilapia fry: 98.0 percent in ponds where the breeders were selected compared to 62.3 percent in ponds where the breeders were unselected.
