The Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) is a species of tilapia, a cichlid fish native to the northern half of Africa and Israel. Numerous introduced populations exist outside its natural range. It is also commercially known as mango fish, nilotica, or boulti. The first name leads to easy confusion with another tilapia traded commercially, the mango tilapia (Sarotherodon galilaeus).
Use of MRF4 expression inhibitor for promoting muscle development
The present invention relates to the effect of promoting muscle development and growth through inhibition of the expression of MRF4. According to the present invention, MRF4 isolated and identified from skeletal muscles of Nile tilapia showed a strong association with MyoG and MEF2 proteins, and the expression of MyoG and MEF2 was found to significantly increase when the MRF4 gene was disrupted through CRISPR / Cas9 gene editing, and thus the present invention has the effect of being able to be used for the promotion of muscle development or the treatment of muscle diseases through the inhibition of the MRF4 gene.
Primers for identifying tilapia, their detection kit, and applications.
This invention provides primers, a detection kit, and applications for identifying tilapia, belonging to the field of molecular biology. The invention provides primers for identifying tilapia species, enabling rapid, efficient, and accurate identification of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), Oreochromis aureus, and Oreochromis spp., providing a scientific basis for tilapia germplasm resource conservation and species identification.

Probiotics useful in aquaculture
The present invention relates to bacterial probiotics useful in aquaculture. Specifically, it discloses a selection of non-hemolytic, proteolytic, stress-tolerant bacterial strains with enhanced quorum- quenching capabilities. Moreover, the method allows detection of novel species of bacteria whose probiotic attributes could be massive for aquaculture. From the isolated bacteria, selected species were tested for their probiotic efficacy in Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus), a key fish species in global finfish aquaculture. The species demonstrated significant efficacy in improving the health and growth performance of Nile tilapia juveniles. Specific growth rates and weight gain, and improved feed conversion ratios without adverse effects on fish health were observed. The gut microbiome was positively influenced by promoting beneficial bacteria while reducing harmful (opportunistic) species, leading to improved immune modulation. Survival rates were significantly boosted during a pathogenic challenge, and key immune genes were upregulated, indicating stronger local immune defenses. These findings show that the selected probiotic species offer substantial benefits for growth, feed efficiency, and disease resistance, emphasizing their potential for widespread application as probiotics in aquaculture.
