Since its introduction in 2001, genomic selection (GS) has progressed rapidly. As a research
and application hot topic, GS has led to a revolution in the field of animal and plant breeding …

Generating breeding programmes that effectively improve farmed fish performance across
multiple environments and make fish more uniform within production environments would …

This study provides an overview of successful genetic improvement programmes for
important farmed aquaculture species in Asia, with a focus on lessons and experiences …

Fragmentation can strongly influence population persistence and expression of life-history
strategies in spatially-structured populations. In this study, we directly estimated size-specific …

Common carp is one of the leading species in world aquaculture, but selective breeding for
growth rate has not been actively pursued in this species after unsuccessful selection …

Phenotypic and genetic parameters for harvest body weight were estimated within and
across multiple test environments and five consecutive generations of the synthetic GIFT …

In this study, for the first time on gilthead seabream (Sparus auratus L.), genetic parameters
for growth and carcass traits were estimated at 509 days (harvest size), and for growth only …

Genotypes at 91 microsatellite loci in three full-sib families were used to search for QTL
affecting body weight (BW) and condition factor in North American Atlantic salmon (Salmo …

The common carp is one of the main aquaculture species in the world. Despite this, most of
the production is carried out using unselected strains. Selective breeding for fast growth has …

Harvest weight has been the main selected trait for the GIFT strain of Nile tilapia
(Oreochromis niloticus). However, growth rate and body shape are traits of increasing …
