Abstract:Genetic improvement is the main responsible for the increase in tilapia production in the last decades. However, the toolsused in broodstock selection have increased the mating of related animals, and as a consequence, animals with morphometricanomalies have appeared. In view of the above, this work was carried out with the objective of evaluating the effect of bodydeformities on the meat yield of tilapia. A total of 106 animals from assisted reproduction of the UFLA tilapia breedingprogram were used, among wh… Show more
