Lessons from the breeding program of rohu
Type: Conference Paper
For the first time in India, selective breeding work has been initiated at the Central Institute of Freshwater Aquaculture, Bhubaneswar, India in collaboration with the Institute of Aquaculture Research (AKVAFORSK), Norway. ...
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 ...
Lessons from the breeding program on common carp in Hungary
Type: Conference Paper
Common carp is one of the most important cultured freshwater fish species in the world. Its production in freshwater areas is the second largest in Europe after rainbow trout. Common carp production in Europe was 146,845 ...
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 of carp species in Asia: project progress report (November 1997 to June 1998)
Type: Report
The Project consists of two phases, Phase I focusing on determining research priorities leading to the development of high yielding breeds and strains; documentation of carp genetic resources, documentation of carp genetic ...
Breeding plan for common carp (Cyprinus carpio) in Indonesia: multiple-trait selection
Type: Report
Total aquaculture production in Indonesia in 1994 was 493 000 tons of finfish, 169 000 tons of shellfish, mainly shrimp and 115 000 tons of seaweed with an estimated value of US$ 2 075 million. In 1994, the production of ...
Evaluation of the carcass and commercial characteristics of carps
Type: Journal Article
The role of carcass evaluation techniques in aquaculture research programs, especially in genetics, breeding, production management, feeding and nutrition, cannot be overemphasized. Knowledge of production efficiencies and ...
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.
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 ...
