  GIFT Tilapia Genetically ImprovedFarmed Tilapia (GIFT) Enhancing Aquaculture for Sustainable Fish Farming
• 2.
  Introduction to GIFTTilapia • GIFT Tilapia is a selectively bred strain of Nile tilapia with superior growth, survival rates, and adaptability. It was developed through multiple generations of selective breeding to enhance aquaculture efficiency.
• 3.
  History and Development •Developed by WorldFish and international partners in the 1980s, GIFT Tilapia was created using Nile tilapia strains from Egypt, Ghana, Kenya, and other regions. The aim was to produce a strain with improved growth rate, resilience, and sustainability.
• 4.
  Genetic Improvement Process •GIFT Tilapia was selectively bred through advanced genetic selection methods. Traits such as faster growth, better feed conversion, higher disease resistance, and environmental adaptability were targeted across multiple generations.

  Benefits of GIFTTilapia • • Faster growth and shorter harvest time. • • Higher profitability for farmers. • • Adaptability to diverse aquaculture systems. • • Improved sustainability and reduced pressure on wild fish stocks.
• 7.
  Farming Techniques • GIFTTilapia can be farmed in: • • **Ponds**: Traditional method, suitable for small and large-scale farming. • • **Cages**: Used in lakes and reservoirs to maximize space. • • **Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS)**: More sustainable, with controlled water quality and stocking density. • • **Biofloc Systems**: Enhances productivity by maintaining water quality and minimizing
• 8.
  Economic & EnvironmentalImpact • • Increases fish production and food security. • • Reduces dependence on wild fish stocks. • • Boosts farmer incomes and provides employment opportunities. • • Encourages sustainable aquaculture practices.
• 9.
  Challenges in GIFTTilapia Farming • • Requires high-quality broodstock. • • Disease management and biosecurity challenges. • • Initial investment in infrastructure can be costly. • • Market competition and price fluctuations.
• 10.
  Future Prospects • •Further genetic improvements for better growth and resilience. • • Expansion of GIFT farming globally. • • Integration with advanced sustainable aquaculture practices. • • Increased government and private sector support for tilapia farming.
