Description
This report assesses the relevance of genetic improvement research to tilapia farming, how genetically improved farmed tilapia (GIFT) research and development have improved breeds, the development and dissemination of breeding methods and protocols; and the institutional, socioeconomic, and environmental impacts of GIFT in Bangladesh, Philippines, Thailand, and Viet Nam. ADB's contribution to this 10-year Research and Development (R&D) effort using Nile Tilapia has served as a major catalyst in associated R&D investments.
