“…The development of faster growth lines has been carried out according to body weight and growth for increasing the genetic gain for growth at harvesting age (Caballero‐Zamora et al, ; Campos‐Montes, Montaldo, Martínez‐Ortega, Jiménez, & Castillo‐Juárez, ; Castillo‐Juárez, Montaldo, & Campos‐Montes, ). On the other hand, since 2013, higher resistance lines have been developed with shrimp broodstock imported from Ecuador as a strategy to reduce mortality rates caused by white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) (Gallaga‐Maldonado et al, ; Perez‐Enriquez, Robledo, Houston, & Llera‐Herrera, ). Nevertheless, the genetic selection processes can influence important physiological and metabolic processes (Grijalva‐Chon, Izaguirre‐Castro, Castro‐Longoria, López‐Torres, & Hoyos‐Chairez, ), such as shrimp growth and immune response.…”
