Abstract:Olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) is a vital aquaculture species in East Asia. However, few studies that estimate the genetic parameters of this species have been conducted. We estimated the genetic parameters of growth traits and designed an optimum breeding programme for this species. Heritability, genetic and phenotypic correlations, and breeding values were estimated for growth traits: body weight (BW), total length (TL), and condition factor (CF). A linear mixed animal model using the restricted max… Show more
“…The transcription level of certain genes emerged as potentially useful indicators of inadequate nutrition, providing a basis for improved and minimally invasive monitoring of feeding regimen effects for trout farming. Dinh et al [17] estimated genetic parameters for growth traits and designed an optimum breeding program for olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus, an important aquaculture species in East Asia. The heritability levels of all growth traits were moderate, indicating that singletrait selection based on individual body weight may be effective.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
