Research at YSFRI’s new Genetic and Breeding Center for Mariculture in Qingdao, China, has produced 180 full-sib and half-sib lines of fleshy shrimp.
Health & Welfare
Through selective breeding, genetic improvement programs can develop shrimp lines that exhibit commercially desirable traits like fast growth, disease resistance and overall hardiness.
Health & Welfare
Genetic improvements are designed to modify plants or animals for greater production performance in such targeted areas as growth or disease resistance.
Health & Welfare
Classical selective breeding may be the most effective and appropriate method to genetically improve marine fish aquaculture.
Health & Welfare
Sensitive detection of enteric septicemia is important to the successful development of a selective-breeding program for ESC resistance.
Health & Welfare
Article briefly describes the structure of family-based selective breeding and identifies areas where developments in genetics and related fields may increase efficiency.
Health & Welfare
If selective breeding is done for several traits simultaneously, the selection response for each will be reduced, as compared to single-trait selection.
Health & Welfare
New molecular biology technologies are complex and expensive but also strongly recommended for any genetic selection program in aquaculture.
