PRODUCTION OF NATURAL “XY” FEMALE OF NILE TILAPIA “OREOCHROMIS NILOTICUS” BY THERMAL MANIPULATION IN EGYPT
Abstract
Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), a crucial freshwater fish for aquaculture, requires mono-sex culturing to prevent unwanted reproduction during grow-out, making sex control a crucial issue in aquaculture. The hormone 17-α-methyltestosterone is typically employed to generate phenotypic males in the mass production of all-male fingerlings. The extensive use of substantial amounts of sex reversa...
