The Tilapia Genome Consortium

The Tilapia Genome Consortium is a collaborative effort among scientists to study and map the complete genetic makeup (genome) of tilapia fish. By understanding their genes, researchers can improve tilapia breeding, health, and farming practices. This consortium shares data and resources internationally to advance aquaculture and ensure sustainable tilapia production. Ultimately, their goal is to enhance food security and support economic development through better management of this popular fish species.
