Clarias batrachus (Keli bunga) Walking catfish 7
TILAPIA 8
Good growth High fertility Omnivorous – eat all Cultivation at high density Strong fish, resistant to handling Good reputation to consumers Tilapia: aquatic chicken 9
Precocious – Mature early Multiple breeding Overpopulation & small fishes (stunting)-low economic value Major constraint 10
Monosex tilapia- ALL MALE Male size > Female Use hormone to reverse the sex Certain breeding techniques Solutions 11
Native to Africa & Middle East Classified into 3 genera: 1)Tilapia 2) Saratherodon 3) Oreochromis- best species of aquaculture According to breeding behaviour Tilapia 12
Mozambique Tilapia 13 High potential for hybridization to have male tilapia
Nile Tilapia 14
Cross between genetic mutant of Mozambique & Nile Tilapia Red tilapia 15
Genetically improved farmed tilapia (GIFT) Tilapia selective breeding Choosing and breeding parents with favorable traits Offspring wide body conformation Higher productivity, fast growth GIFT Tilapia 16

Pangasius hypophtalmus (Patin buah) Striped catfish 18
Mystus nemurus, Hemibagrus nemurus (Baung) River Catfish (Native) 19
Channa striata (Haruan) Snakehead 20

Anabas testudineus (Puyu) Labyrinth organ : accessory breathing organ – used for respiration in air Allow to take oxygen directly from the air Climbing perch 28
Giant Gourami 29 Osphronemus goramy (Kalui)
Fast growth (Early maturation, high fecundity) Short food chain Efficient conversion of food Can accept compounded feed Disease resistance Ease of breeding in captivity Able to tolerate wide range of environmental parameter Selection of Species 30

Diadromous = Migrate between sea & freshwater 1) Anadromous = lives in the sea & migrate to fresh water to breed e.g., salmon 2) Catadromous = lives in freshwater & migrate to the sea e.g., eel Migration of fishes 33
Fish return to the exact spot where they were born to spawn Die within few days or weeks after spawning Salmon 34
