Abstract
Nile tilapia is one of the suitable fish species for aquaculture development. Fish strain selection for aquaculture development involves various approaches such as selective breeding; (based on phenotypes of individuals), within family selection (i.e., improvement of genetic makeup of individuals by cross breeding between individuals from different families) or combination of these. Species in the genus Oreochromis are candidates for aquaculture and selected based on their ability to adapt to salty water environment, feeding habit and growth performance. In this paper strain selection for Nile tilapia based on their growth performance has been reviewed.
