Genetic architecture of the founding population of a silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) genetic improvement program in Bangladesh: Data.

DArTseq silicoDArT (Report_DCar17-2543_DCar16-2266_SilicoDArT_1.csv) and Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) markers (Report_DCar17-2543_DCar16-2266_SNP_singlerow_2.csv). Metadata produced by DArT is provided (Report_DCar17-2543_DCar16-2266_metadata.xlsx). The source of samples is detailed in Silver_carp_sampling_data_2.cs

Replication Data for: Population, temperature and feeding rate effects on individual feed efficiency in European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax)

200 European sea bass from three wild populations, Atlantic , West Mediterranean and East Mediterranean, were reared individually at two temperatures, 18°C and 24°C. Their bodyweight gain and feed intake were measured at six different feeding rates, from ad libitum down to fasting.

Replication Data for: Influence of seasons, habitat sanctuaries, gears and environmental variables on the catches of hilsa shad (Tenualosa ilisha) in Bangladesh waters

Aim: Variations in catch per unit effort (CPUE) of hilsa (Tenualosa ilisha ) at different habitats (sanctuaries) of Bangladesh waters were observed to understand whether CPUE variations were due to differences in habitat complexity, environmental factors or both. Methodology: CPUE of hilsa data were collected from five different habitats in Bangladesh waters between July 2015 and June 2016. Various physico-chemical parameters were measured monthly and then examined for any relationship to CPUE.

Distinguishing between Nile tilapia strains using a low-density Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNPs) panel: Data.

DArTseq silicoDArT and Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) markers (report DTi16-2108) and DArTcap SNP markers (report DTi17-2714_DTi17-2713). A Microsoft Excel file containing i) 21,195 SNP and 27,150 silicoDArT DArTseq genotypes and respective marker sequence and metadata information for 1404 tilipia (Oreochromis niloticus, O. mossambicus and hybrid) core breeding population samples; and ii) 1334 SNP DArTcap genotypes for 2057 Oreochromis niloticus hatchery samples. Corresponding .Rdata files containing genlight objects are also provided

Replication Data for: G9 impact assessment data

WorldFish initiated a selective breeding program in Abbassa—Egypt to develop and produce the genetically improved Nile tilapia strain known as “Genetically Improved Abbassa Nile tilapia (GIANT)”, adopting the same technology used for the Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia (GIFT), in Asia. WorldFish provided the Ninth Generation (G9) broodstock of the GIANT to 11 Broodstock Multiplication Centers (BMC’s) in five governorates; these centres then disseminated improved mixed‐sex fry to 160 tilapia hatcheries which supplied all‐male fry to 1,500 fish farms in 2017.

Replication Data for: Black spots experiment data

Black spot disease (diplopstomiasis), an external melanized host inflammatory response caused by a number of digenetic trematode parasites, results in slow growth, deformities and increased mortality among many freshwater fish species globally. We investigated the severity of infection, and genetic parameters for black spot disease among 150 families of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) of the Abbassa strain in ponds in Egypt.
