Abstract excerpt
The rapid expansion of tilapia aquaculture highlights the importance of assessing the variations between the local and improved strains to ensure sustainable production. The present study conducted an integrative analysis of morphometric traits, reproductive performance, growth and reproduction-related gene expressions in three commercially important tilapia strains such as Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus),...
