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 ...
Genetic improvement and dissemination of rohu (labeo rohita, Ham.) in India
Type: Book Chapter
Experts carried out selective breeding of Rohu carp for greater harvest weight and yielded an average of 17% genetic gain per generation in 5 generations of selection.
Genetic improvement of carp reduces poverty, hunger in Asia
Type: Journal Article
Breeding programs for carp species carried out in a number of Asian countries have delivered genetically fast growing strains to farmers and producers. The economic benefits resulting from the programs are substantial. The ...
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 ...
Accounting for genotype by environment interaction in economic appraisal of genetic improvement programs in common carp Cyprinus carpio
Type: Journal Article
In this study we examine effects of genotype by environment (G×E) interaction due to re-ranking and scaling effects on economic benefit (EB) and benefit to cost ratio (BCR) from a genetic improvement program in common carp ...
Mass selection for increased body weight at harvest over five generations in silver barb, Puntius gonionotus
Type: Conference Paper
Silver barb (Puntius gonionotus Bleeker 1850) is an Asian carp that is popular as a food fish. It is distributed throughout Thailand in rivers, canals, reservoirs and swamps. It is also cultured in ponds and paddy fields. ...
