Solving the mechanisms of environmental virulence regulation can help develop targeted interventions to mitigate A. hydrophila infections. 

More than 120 Egyptian aquaculture workers have completed specialized training to enhance tilapia welfare and fish productivity. 

FAI and Ethical Seafood Research launched the Tilapia Welfare Project in Egypt, the world's second-largest producer of the farmed fish species.  

Trends in the use of additives in small-scale fish farming in Egypt show the need to establish costs and benefits and promote their appropriate use. 

Investigating factors associated with tilapia mortality in Egypt during the summer season using a novel online survey tool to gather epidemiology data. 

A major goal of selective breeding program for Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in Egypt is to select for fillet color and fillet weight in response to consumer preferences. 

Egypt is the third-largest tilapia producer globally, after China and Indonesia, and accounts for about 80 percent of African production of farmed tilapia. Many of the reasons for Egypt’s successful development of its important tilapia industry could be applied to the rest of African continent. 

An international research effort has commenced to find a solution for Tilapia Lake Virus (TiLV), a contagion causing high rates of mortality in farmed and wild tilapia stocks in Israel, Colombia, Ecuador, Egypt and Thailand. 

A new breeding program for genetic improvement of red tilapia was established at the Fish Research Center (FRC), Suez Canal University, in Ismailia, Egypt. It aims to improve the growth rate of the fish and to provide significant benefits to tilapia farmers. 

The domestication of green tiger shrimp (Penaeus semisulcatus) as a source for seedstock could help expand aquaculture in Egypt. Trials by the authors compared the reproductive performance of wild male/wild female pairings with that of pond-reared male/pond-reared female and wild male/pond-reared female pairings. 

Fish farming in Egypt is not formally recognized as an agricultural activity, so aquaculture cannot use water from irrigation canals. However, fish are raised as primary or secondary crops in combination with fruit and other plant crops.
