At the moment, there are two national programs in the development of saline tilapia in the Philippines — the BFAR-FAC1 project in Nueva Ecija and the MolobicusNFRDI-NCAMFRD2 project in collaboration with PCAMRD3 in Dagupan City. The hybridization of two tilapia strains, Oreochromis niloticus and O. mossambicus is being studied at NCAMFRD to come up with a first generation hybrid (F1) that is fast growing like the nilotica and high saline tolerant like the mossambica. According to Mr. Westly Rosario, director of NCAMRD, the F1 hybrids can survive and grow at 15-25 ppt. The Molobicus Project Protocol, which is the title of the study, is aimed at the breeding of hybrid nursery and sex-reversal of the fingerlings.
