Tgm1-like transglutaminases in tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus). [PDF]
Among the adaptations of aquatic species during evolution of terrestrial tetrapods was the development of an epidermis preventing desiccation. In present day mammals, keratinocytes of the epidermis, using a membrane-bound transglutaminase (Tgm1 ...

Genetic assessment of farmed Oreochromis mossambicus populations in South Africa [PDF]
The global utilisation of Oreochromis spp. in freshwater aquaculture extends to South Africa. Here the native Mozambique tilapia (Oreochromis mossambicus) has been proposed as a priority species for regional aquaculture projects, although it is still not
