GENETIC HISTORY
FILLET YIELD
1. Importance of fillet yield to the meat industry.
The economic implications of meat trimmed from the whole weight of an animals are a serious concern for operators who must produce
fillets (meat) of sufficent percent from the raw weight of meat of an animal to create a profit for the grower and the marketer of the meat.
Fillets for the meat market must meet rigid specifications with a minimum amount of trim.
Through this method, Cogeneticist that can make at least a 0.3% increase in meat yield each year in each of its high yielding products are adding significant profitability to the cultivation of the animal. Tilapia is now the most consistently profitable and fastest growing business in aquaculture, even though it is universally ignored by government, but even with the almost universal acceptance of tilapia is not being funded properly to expand at the needed speed to keep up with expanding demand.
While 0.3% a year may sound small, over a ten-year period this can translate to an additional $35 million in profits per million pounds of whole animal processed each week.
So, no matter what animal is being grown, a successful genetic approach to increasing the fillet yield by 0.3% or more will lead to higher profits, without significantly increasing cost.
2. This is especially true for the aquaculture industry in part because of the rapidly increases of value of aquaculture products. This is due to the constant unremmiting pressure on our natural resources of wild fish so that less are captured each year. And aquaculture is not capable of keeping up with even current demands because of the poor support from government in this country.
The importance of the fillet yield to any part of the aquaculture industry will increase its profitability
3. Importance of increasing the fillet yield to tilapia industry is no less than that of any other aquaculture animal because of the higher production of tilapia that can be raised in operations and may be more important due to the incredibly successful breeding of the improved body form tilapia by Mike Sipe.

About the author
MIKE SIPE
I am 70 as of August 4th 2010. I have spent over 41 years Breeding tilapia, improving tilapia gene lines creating Red tilapia, and improving the body form of "pennyfish" from 24% in 1963 to 50% in 2009. I have pioneered and installed high oxygen intensive aquaculture production systems. We (TILAPIA AQUACULTURE INTERNATIONAL) built the first u-tube used to control oxygen and co2 levels in aquaculture. We can dissolve up to 800 parts per million parts of water and thereby control oxygen levels in growing situations. ( THIS IS WHAT MAKES OUR INTENSIVE CULTURE SYSTEM WORK SO WELL) We have designed hatchery systems to produce thousand of pennyfish fingerlings a day using breeder cages. We have helped to establish the production of over two billion pounds per year of our tilapia in over 50 locations in North America, Mexico, South America, Central America, Kenya Africa, and Saudi Aribea in the Middle east. Our goal is to help people with the production of tilapia necessary to *feed everyone* in the world a well balanced nutritious* diet, and to restore the forest of the world. If you wish to talk with me my phone number is 877 217 7006. Please feel free to call me during normal Eastern daylight times. At this particular time I believe that I have more hands on experience in building , designing and running u-tubes to lower the cost and risk for growing all kinds of Aquaculture by 10% - 20% and the cost of dissolving oxygen in an intensive system by 50- 85%. The safety issue is by far the most important issue because having complete control over the oxygen level in a tank helps to assure he safety of the crop and the cost. Another area where I have extensive experience is on what is required to create new characteristics in a gene line. We can take a tilapia that is black and turn it to a brilliant red or take a gene line and select for various body form changes or various internal genetics needed needed to manufacture certain expensive biochemical products..such as Heparin which is an important molecule in haemoglobin that plays a role in clotting blood. A good breeding and selection system could virtually increase the production of almost any biological chemical system in the tilapia.Where Am I:
