    Excerpt
    Another strain of a genetically improved tilapia may unlock new possibilities for the country's depleted fish resources under continuing pressure from an exploding 2.1-population growth rate. Zosipat Beniga of the Mindanao State University has improved the genetic composition of Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), giving it a high-survival rate at between 96.6 percent and 94.2 percent in cultured environment.
