Abstract
The red tilapia (Oreochromis spp.) is a globally important freshwater aquaculture commodity. This study evaluated the genetic status, reproductive performance, and growth of Indonesian (Sukabumi) and introduced (Thailand and Taiwan) red tilapia strains and their hybrids. Genetic analysis using the mitochondrial DNA marker cytochrome oxidase subunit 1 (COI) confirmed species identity (700bp fragment), and a completely randomized design was used to measure growth differences between the hybrids. Thailand strains showed the highest genetic diversity, whereas Sukabumi and Taiwan strains showed low genetic diversity. Hybridization between the Sukabumi and Thailand strains was best for growth, resulting in a heterosis effect on body weight of 41.96%. Morphometric analysis identified head size difference between the hybrid groups of Taiwan parents with Thailand and Sukabumi strains. The black spot pigmentation characterized the genetic flow of the Sukabumi strain. These findings provide a basis for selective breeding programs to improve the genetic diversity and production performance of red tilapia in Indonesia.
