Public-Private Partnerships Boost Monosex Tilapia Fry Production

摘要

For tilapia production to reach its full potential, high-quality, uniformly sized fry must be readily available to farmers. With a hatchery system designed at the Asian Institute of Technology that involves collection of eggs and larvae, and hormonalsex reversal, it is possible to produce billions of all-male fry to satisfy demand and accelerate aquaculture development. Public-private partnerships have been the most successful strategy for disseminating the monosex technology.
