Selective breeding of tilapia populations started in the early 1990s and over the past three
decades tilapia has become one of the most important farmed freshwater species, being …

Background Body traits are generally controlled by several genes in vertebrates (ie
polygenes), which in turn make them difficult to identify through association mapping …

Deep learning (DL) is a cutting-edge technology that enables high-throughput phenotyping
in aquaculture. The routine application of DL offers new opportunities for the genetic …

Abstract The Portuguese oyster Crassostrea angulata is one of the economically important
mollusc species but to date there has been no genetic improvement program conducted for …

Abstract Background Genomic prediction using Diversity Arrays Technology (DArT)
genotype by sequencing platform has not been reported in yellowtail kingfish (Seriola …

Simple Summary Aquaculture production in Uganda is dominated by Nile tilapia. With the
recent growth of commercial cage aquaculture, Nile tilapia currently contributes up to 70% of …

This study attempted to make a comprehensive genetic evaluation of a selective breeding
program for striped catfish Pangasianodon hypophthalmus selected for high growth over 15 …

Selective breeding for marine finfish is challenging due to difficulties in reproduction, larval
rearing, and on-growth in captive environments. The farming of Asian seabass (Lates …

The extent to which genetic gain achieved from selection programs under strictly controlled
environments in the nucleus that can be expressed in commercial production systems is not …

Digital image analysis is a practical, non‐invasive, and relatively low‐cost tool that may
assist in the evaluation of body traits in Nile tilapia, being particularly useful for assessing …
