Nile tilapia genetic improvement

Nile tilapia genetic improvement involves selectively breeding fish to enhance desirable traits such as faster growth, better feed efficiency, disease resistance, and improved overall quality. By carefully choosing breeding stock with these favorable characteristics and controlling mating, scientists can produce offspring that consistently perform better over time. This process uses techniques like genetic selection and breeding programs to accelerate improvements, leading to more productive and sustainable tilapia farming. Ultimately, genetic improvement helps farmers increase yield and profitability while ensuring healthier, higher-quality fish for consumers.
