This experiment was carried out with the aim to evaluate growth performance and survival of three red tilapia strains from Malaysia, Thailand and Taiwan. The growth performance (body weight, standard length, body width and depth) and survival rate were evaluated using 2,867 records collected on indiVidually tagged fish after a period of three months communal rearing in an earthen pond. Based on performance ranking, the best parents of each strain are being selected to be included in a complete diallel cross to further examine the additive and nonadditive genetic performance of the strains. The subsequent step will be to form a synthetic base population for future genetic selection.
