In: Proceedings the Eighth International Symposium on Tilapia in Aquaculture (ISTA VIII)/edited by Hussein Elghobashy,Kevin Fitzsimmons,Ahmed S. Diab 2008.v.1Summary: In this paper we present information on the current state of development of selection programs that have had a main focus on growth rate and body traits(including a study on the possibility of altering sexual dimorphism and shape of the fish), we examine the issue of the appropriate environment for selection, and we discuss traits likely to be candidates for inclusion in future, more elaborate, breeding objectives for Nile tilapia. We mainly (but not exclusively) draw upon research and development work carried out by The WorldFish Center (WorldFish).
