Transgenic tilapia and the tilapia genome

Gene, 2002
The tilapia fish (Oreochromis niloticus) has an important place in the aquaculture of the developing world. It is also a very useful laboratory animal, and readily lends itself to the transgenic technology. Through the use of reporter genes, a range of potential gene promoters have been tested in tilapia, both through transient and stable expression of

Bioconcentration of atrazine in the banded tilapia, Tilapia sparrmanii

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part C: Comparative Pharmacology, 1992
1. The bioconcentration of atrazine was determined in the liver, muscle, heart, gonads and brain of Tilapia sparrmanii exposed to high concentrations of atrazine. 2. The highest concentrations were recorded in the ovaries (50.6 micrograms/g) and in the liver (40.1 +/- 5.5 micrograms/g). This may be attributed to the higher lipid content of these organs,

Tilapia

Tilapia are a group of cichlid fish endemic to tropical freshwater in Africa, Jordan and Israel, that are extremely nutritious and in high global demand. They are a popular species to farm because of their relative ease of culture, their tolerance to relatively high stocking densities, rapid growth and palatability. As a thorough exploration of tilapia

Exploiting Transgenic Tilapia and the Tilapia Genome

2003
The future importance of aquaculture is clearly very great because of the increased demand for fish and the decline of world capture fisheries. Tilapia fish are widely cultured in both the developed and developing world countries, and any methods for improving tilapia performance in aquaculture are of significance.

Purification and Localization of Nitric Oxide Synthases from Hybrid Tilapia (Nile Tilapia × Mozambique Tilapia)

Journal of Aquatic Animal Health, 2007
Abstract The aims of this study were to purify and localize the nitric oxide synthases (NOSs) from hybrid tilapia (Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus × Mozambique tilapia O. mossambicus). The purification procedures involved affinity chromatography with a 2′, 5′-ADP-agarose 4B column and ion exchange with a diethylaminoethanol Bio-Gel A ...

Complete mitochondrial genome of Zebra tilapia, Tilapia buttikoferi

Mitochondrial DNA Part A, 2014
We determined the complete mitochondrial genome of Tilapia buttikoferi, which was 16,577 bp in length with an A + T content of 53.0%, containing 13 protein-coding genes, 2 rRNAs, 22 tRNAs and a complete control region. The gene arrangement was similar to that of typical fishes.

Histology and Ultrastructure of the Gut of the Tilapia (Tilapia spp.), a Hybrid Teleost

Anatomia, Histologia, Embryologia, 1998
SummaryThe morphology of the intestine has been studied in a species of warm water fish, Tilapia spp., a hybrid teleost of notable economic importance. Light and electron microscope results show that the intestine is a relatively undifferentiated muscular tube lined with a simple columnar epithelium interspersed with goblet cells.

Comparative transcriptomes reveal different tolerance mechanisms to Streptococcus agalactiae in hybrid tilapia, nile tilapia, and blue tilapia

Fish & Shellfish Immunology, 2023
Tilapia is one of the most economically important freshwater fish farmed in China. Streptococcosis outbreaks have been extensively documented in farmed tilapia species. Hybrid tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus ♀ × O. aureus ♂) exhibit greater disease resistance than Nile tilapia (O. niloticus) and blue tilapia (O. aureus). However, the molecular mechanism

Digestion in Tilapia esculenta

Nature, 1951
Tilapia esculenta is abundant in Lake Victoria, and is the most important food fish in this area. It has been stated1 that this fish feeds on phytoplankton. However, further investigations were undertaken, and the contents of stomach and rectum of the same specimen were examined and compared in a large number of fish taken at weekly intervals during ...

Evaluation of three species of tilapia, red tilapia and a hybrid tilapia as culture species in Saudi Arabia

Aquaculture, 1995
Abstract The culture potential of three pure tilapia species, Oreochromis niloticus , O. aureus, O. mossambicus , hybrid tilapia ( O. niloticus X O. aureus ) progeny and Taiwanese red tilapia ( O. mossambicus X O. niloticus ) was evaluated in 10 m 2 concrete tanks receiving freshwater.
