Abstract excerpt
Crossing Oreochromis niloticus (On) females with Oreochromis aureus (Oa) males results in all-male progeny that are essential for effective tilapia farming. However, a reproductive barrier between these species limits mating and mass-fry production. One approach to overcoming this barrier is to select parental stocks of mixed genetic backgrounds, which allow interspecific reproductive recognition, while closely...
