One of the biggest challenges with Streptococcus agalactiae Ia2021 in LATAM is the extremely low survival rates from larvae to juveniles—some producers report survivals as low as 30%. I have witnessed firsthand the efforts of leading companies in the industry working to find solutions, from vaccines and feed additives to improved genetics, like the work we do at Spring Genetics pioneers in the selection for higher resistance to Streptococcus agalactiae IA2021. While these advancements are crucial, they are only part of the solution. There must also be a shift in how producers manage fingerling and juvenile production. Implementing biosecure areas before vaccination and transfer to grow-out systems is key to improving survival rates. Strengthening biosecurity protocols at this stage will maximize the benefits of genetic improvements and health programs.

关于我们
Spring Genetics operates an advanced family based breeding program for Nile tilapia, with breeding nucleus operations in Miami, Florida, USA. The Spring Genetics stock has been selected for key traits such as fast growth, survivability and yield, and more recently for increased resistance to Streptococcus iniae and S. agalactiae Ib, Francisella and TilV. Selection of disease resistance is based on controlled challenge testing of nucleus families. Additional key traits such as resistance to other pathogens, improved feed conversion efficiency, tolerance to salinity and high/low temperatures are currently assessed for implementation. Benchmark Genetics Tilapia is distributing genetically improved, high performing materials to integrated companies and affiliated multiplication hatcheries throughout the Americas and Asia .

Biosecurity is key at every stage from hatchery to juvenile rearing. Keeping breeders isolated and producing fingerlings in biosecure indoor systems ensures healthier fish, ready for grow-out. We’ve expanded our hatchery to enhance biosecurity and optimize fingerling production, reinforcing our commitment to high-performance tilapia to our US and global customers. #SpringGenetics #TilapiaBreeding #Biosecurity #Tilapiagenetics #GlobalTilapiaLeaders
