  • Genetic Resources for Aquaculture: Status and Trends
    109 Genetic resources for aquaculture: status and trends Roger S.V. Pullin 7A Legaspi Park View, 134 Legaspi Street, Consultant, Philippines 1. SUMMARY Aquaculture, the farming of aquatic plants and animals, has grown consistently since 1970, when it provided only 3.9 percent of world fish supply. In 2004, global production of farmed fish (mainly crustaceans, molluscs and finfish) was over 45 million tonnes, comprising about 32 percent of total world fish supply, while the total production of farmed seaweeds for food and extraction of chemicals, was about 13.9 million t. Aquaculture also provides increasing proportions of the world’s supply of ornamental aquatic organisms. Over 90 percent of aquaculture takes place in developing countries, where it has high importance for poor people in terms of nutrition and livelihoods and where further responsible development of aquaculture, integrated with other natural resource use, has high potential for future growth. Based upon statistics submitted to FAO by its member States, about 84 percent of farmed fish production comes from Asia, with 67 percent coming from the Peoples’ Republic of China. However, aquaculture is increasing in importance in all developing regions and is expected to provide about 50 percent of world food fish supply within the next 20 years. The future of aquaculture will depend in large measure upon the effective management of the genetic resources for farmed aquatic plants (PGR) and farmed fish (FiGR), as well as those for the organisms that provide their food and ecosystem services. Fish farms are agroecosystems and aquatic genetic resources for aquaculture on farms are part of agrobiodiversity.

DOI: 10.1002/aqc.699 The effects of introduced tilapias on native biodiversity GABRIELLE C. CANONICOa,*, ANGELA ARTHINGTONb, JEFFREY K. MCCRARYc,d and MICHELE L. THIEMEe a Sustainable Development and Conservation Biology Program, University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland, USA b Centre for Riverine Landscapes, Faculty of Environmental Sciences, Griffith University, Australia c University of Central America, Managua, Nicaragua d Conservation Management Institute, College of Natural Resources, Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, Virginia, USA e Conservation Science Program, World Wildlife Fund, Washington, DC, USA ABSTRACT 1. The common name ‘tilapia’ refers to a group of tropical freshwater fish in the family Cichlidae (Oreochromis, Tilapia, and Sarotherodon spp.) that are indigenous to Africa and the southwestern Middle East. Since the 1930s, tilapias have been intentionally dispersed worldwide for the biological control of aquatic weeds and insects, as baitfish for certain capture fisheries, for aquaria, and as a food fish. They have most recently been promoted as an important source of protein that could provide food security for developing countries without the environmental problems associated with terrestrial agriculture. In addition, market demand for tilapia in developed countries such as the United States is growing rapidly. 2. Tilapias are well-suited to aquaculture because they are highly prolific and tolerant to a range of environmental conditions. They have come to be known as the ‘aquatic chicken’ because of their potential as an affordable, high-yield source of protein that can be easily raised in a range of environments } from subsistence or ‘backyard’ units to intensive fish hatcheries.

  • Reduction of the “Ngege”, Oreochromis Esculentus (Teleostei: Cichlidae) Populations, and Resultant Population Genetic Status in the Lake Victoria Region
    Uganda Journal of Agricultural Sciences, 2012, 13 (2): 65-82 ISSN 1026-0919 Printed in Uganda. All rights reserved © 2012, National Agricultural Research Organisation Reduction of the “ngege”, Oreochromis esculentus (Teleostei: Cichlidae) populations, and resultant population genetic status in the Lake Victoria Region W. Waiswa Mwanja1, P.A. Fuerst2 and L. Kaufman3 1Department of Fisheries Resources, P.O. Box 4 Entebbe, Uganda 2Department of Molecular Genetics, Ohio State University, 386 Aronoff Laboratory, 318 West 12th Avenue, Columbus, OH 43210 3Boston University Department of Biology 5 Cummington Mall Boston, MA 02215 Author for correspondence: [email protected] Abstract Ngege, Oreochromis esculentus, originally formed the mainstay of the Lake Victoria Region (LVR) fisheries. Together with its indigenous congener O. variabilis, it was displaced from Lakes Victoria and Kyoga of LVR and was found to survive as isolated small populations within the peripheral minor lakes and reservoirs around the two lakes. Displacement of the two LVR indigenous tilapiines was thought to be principally driven by changed lake environment and predation by the introduced Nile perch, but also competition and genetic swamping by the closely related introduced and comparatively more ecologically versatile tilapine species. In a study carried out in the LVR between 1993 and 2003, micro satellites and RAPD markers were used to analyse the remnant populations so as to establish the population structure and extant genetic diversity of O. esculentus. Analyses indicated that the surviving O. esculentus retained a high proportion of genetic diversity with high differentiation between units an indication of genetic exchange between indigenous and introduced Nile tilapia where the two forms co-existed.
