Hardly any reproduction.
Natural Male Tilapia is the product of our YY-males and our improved XX-female line. with YY-technology no hormones are involved with as result a very strong immune system.
YY-Technology versus hormone use
- Testosterone will decreased strongly the development of the immune system resulting in high mortality during the sex-reversal and after
- Sex reversed males will act and look like males (phenotypically males), but they still carry the female genetic makeup: XX (genotypically females). If these sex reverses males escapes into the environment and spawns with natural females this will result in an all female offspring, causing an sex-unbalance in the ecosystem.
Mixed sex not an option:
Increased Food Conversion Rate in mixed sex batches losing energy due to social interaction between males and females
