| Aqua Fish Farms presents:
Monosex tilapia
fingerlings and high quality hybrid fingerlings from the
hybridization between channel and blue catfish which exhibit
substantially improved growth and feed conversion rate as well as
improved survival, disease resistance, low water quality tolerance,
harvestability and carcass traits. All strains of monosex red
tilapia produced by our farm are true breeding variety originating
from Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) and Mossambique tilapia (Oreochromis
mossambicus)
Our high performance
tilapia strains consist of 3 different lines:
THE NAGRI 1 (Light
Silver). Obtained from pure Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)
breed to a perfection with high tolerance to salinity and handling.
THE AQUA-RED
(Hybrid). Selected line of superior color. Body shape and excellent
growing rate. The Aqua-red also exhibit high salinity and handling
tolerance.
THE MALAYSIAN WHITE
(solid white color). The Malaysian white is a fast growing tilapia
with a nice body shape and small head. The Malaysian White required
of good water management. The Malaysian white is an ideal fish for
growing in cages or raceways in high densities.
CATFISH HYBRID (Super
Cat). The hybrid between Channel and Blue Catfish grows 30-100%
faster than channel catfish, production is 44-120% higher than
channel catfish, and feed conversion efficiency is 10-=20% better
than channel catfish. Additionally, the hybrid is 10-50% more
resistant to ESC than channel catfish. Disease resistance and
survival is 10-50% higher for the hybrid than channel catfish. When
100% of channel catfish die from low dissolved oxygen, only 33% of
the hybrids die. The hybrid is twice as easy to seine as the channel
catfish. Dressout and nugget % of the hybrid is 2-4% higher than
channel catfish while fillet % of the two are equal. Depending upon
conditions, hybrid food fish production has $700-$2,800 more
profit/acre compared to channel catfish food fish production.
RED CARP. Triploid
fingerlings of Red Carp (Cyprinus carpio) are used for the control
of weeds and organic matter. Our red carp have a great feed
conversion. The red carp is the ideal fish for the control unwanted
weeds and organic matter in water and sewer processing plants. The
red carp are extremely resistant to handling, salinity and cold
waters.
