Development of electrospun collagen composite nanofibrous scaffold with "green" solvent by V Diwakar

“…Religious restrictions and risk of disease transmission from primary (bovine/porcine) sources of collagen have paved way for the study of an alternative collagen source. Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) fish collagen has now emerged as a potential alternative. …”

Decellularization of fish skin for tissue engineering applications by Lau, Chau Sang

“…Among the various fish types, Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), a tropical freshwater fish native to Africa, is lauded as a promising source of collagen due to its rapid growth rate and high protein content. …”

The FTO gene is associated with growth and omega-3/-6 ratio in Asian seabass by Sun, Fei, Tu, Rongjian, Xia, Jun Hong, Liu, Xiao Jun, Yue, Gen Hua

“…Phylogenetic analysis revealed that the gene in Asian seabass was closely related to those of Japanese flounder and Nile tilapia. Analysis of its expressions using qRT-PCR showed that it was expressed ubiquitously, but was higher in the liver, stomach and intestine. …”

Construction of a high-density linkage map and fine mapping of QTL for growth in Asian seabass by Wang, Le, Wan, Zi Yi, Bai, Bin, Huang, Shu Qing, Chua, Elaine, Lee, May, Pang, Hong Yan, Wen, Yan Fei, Liu, Peng, Liu, Feng, Sun, Fei, Lin, Grace, Ye, Bao Qing, Yue, Gen Hua

“…A high level of genomic synteny among Asian seabass, European seabass, Nile tilapia and stickleback was detected. Using this map, one genome-wide significant and five suggestive QTL for growth traits were detected in six linkage groups (i.e. …”
