Abstract We mainly (but not exclusively) draw on research and development work carried out by The WorldFish Center (WorldFish). review in detail the current state of a selection program that has had main focus growth rate body traits. also present some new, unpublished, information. There is evidence sustained gains 10–15% per generation over more than six generations. To date, these have been accompanied any undesirable correlated response. However, prospects altering sexual dimorphism...
Abstract This study provides an overview of successful genetic improvement programmes for important farmed aquaculture species in Asia, with a focus on lessons and experiences gained as well challenges remaining. In both fish prawns ( Macrobrachium rosenbergii ), conventional selective breeding approaches have resulted significant productivity, gains ranging from 8 to 12% per generation. Selection high growth has also brought about beneficial changes fillet weight edible meat without...
White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) is the most damaging pathogen in terms of production and economic losses for shrimp sector world-wide. Estimation heritability WSSV resistance was made this study to obtain necessary parameter inputs broadening breeding objectives an ongoing selective programme Whiteleg (Liptopenaeus vannamei) that has focussed exclusively on improving growth performance since 2014. The present involved a disease challenge test experiment using total 15,000 shrimps from 150...
Banana shrimp Fenneropenaeus merguiensis has emerged as an important aquacultured species in South East Asia and Australia. However, the quantitative genetic basis of economically traits this are currently not available, while for body colour, cooked or uncooked, there no parameter estimates any indeed decapod crustacean. In study, we report banana parameters morphometric and, first time shrimp, colour. Ten highly polymorphic microsatellite markers were developed from genomic sequences used...
Selective breeding for marine finfish is challenging due to difficulties in reproduction, larval rearing, and on-growth captive environments. The farming of Asian seabass (Lates calcarifer) has all these problems our knowledge the quantitative genetic information (heritability correlations) traits necessary commercial exploitation poor. present study was conducted address this gap provide that can be applied sea bass other aquaculture species. We carried out a comprehensive evaluation three...
The study evaluated genetic progress of a breeding program for common carp undergoing four generations selection increased harvest body weight from 2004 to 2014. pedigree included 17,351 individual fish which were offspring 342 sires and 352 dams. Genetic parameters at about two years age survival rate during grow-out period also estimated using the residual maximum likelihood method applied two-trait linear mixed model. Direct response in correlated changes measured as differences in: i)...
Genomic prediction using Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT) genotype by sequencing platform has not been reported in yellowtail kingfish (Seriola lalandi). The principal aim of this study was to address knowledge gap and assess predictive ability genomic Best Linear Unbiased Prediction (gBLUP) for traits commercial importance a population comprising 752 individuals that had DNA sequence phenotypic records growth (body weight, fork length condition index). gBLUP method used due its...
