Primarily due to its simple but appealing taste and affordable price, tilapia is considered as one of the important aquaculture species in the country. Among the best-cultured tilapia species is the “Genetically Improved Farmed Tilapia” or GIFT because it has higher aquaculture yield due to its rapid growth and higher survival rates. But the production of this species has declined due to its low reproductive performance.
