Performance and nature of genetically improved carp strains in Asian countries
Type: Journal Article
The WorldFish Center and its research partners have recently made efforts to develop genetically improved carp strains. This paper analyses the comparative performance of the genetically improved carp strains on both average ...
Estimates of strain additive and non-additive genetic effects for growth traits in a diallel cross of three strains of giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) in Vietnam
Type: Journal Article
Additive genetic, heterotic and strain reciprocal effects were estimated using a diallel cross of two local wild strains of the giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) in Vietnam (Dong Nai and Mekong) and a third ...
Quantitative genetic parameter estimates for body and carcass traits in a cultured stock of giant freshwater prawn (Macrobrachium rosenbergii) selected for harvest weight in Vietnam
Type: Journal Article
Benefits derived from selective breeding have been demonstrated in livestock and in some fish species, but by contrast, there have been few systematic selection programs reported for shrimps. Improving growth rate has been ...
A comparison of communal and separate rearing of families in selective breeding of common carp (Cyprinus carpio): Responses to selection
Type: Journal Article
The genetic response in growth traits in a selection program for increased harvest weight in a common carp population in Vietnam is reported. A base population (G0) was established from six carp stocks using single pair ...
Preliminary results of a silver carp breeding program in Vietnam
Type: Journal Article
The article describes the silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys harmandi and Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) breeding program in Vietnam.
A comparison of communal and separate rearing of families in selective breeding of common carp (Cyprinus carpio): Estimation of genetic parameters
Type: Journal Article
The objective of this study was to investigate ways of improving the selective breeding program for growth related traits in common carp in Vietnam. A base population was established from six carp stocks following a single ...
Tilapia breeding in ricefields in Vietnam
Type: Journal Article
Results of the studies undertaken for breeding and nursing Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) in ricefields in Thai Binh province in Vietnam during the years 1995-96 are briefly presented in this paper.
Breeding and culture of the sea cucumber Holothuria scabra in Vietnam
Type: Journal Article
The sea cucumber Holothuria scabra (sandfish) has been commercially exploited over a wide tropical and subtropical range for centuries. It can produce a high-value grade of beche-demer if processing is carried out well. ...
