Selective Breeding for Genetic Improvement of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus Linnaeus, 1758) in Uganda: Current Status, Challenges, and Future Perspectives [PDF]
AnimalsNile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) aquaculture continues to significantly contribute to the growth of the aquaculture sector in Uganda. However, its production is beset by erratic and unreliable seed supply. Also, most hatcheries practice inbreeding of

Insight into selective breeding for robustness based on field survival records: New genetic evaluation of survival traits in pacific white shrimp (Penaeus vannamei) breeding line [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 Survival can be considered a relatively ‘old’ trait in animal breeding, yet commonly neglected in aquaculture breeding because of the simple binary records and generally low heritability estimates.

A simple sequence repeats marker of disease resistance in shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei and its application in selective breeding [PDF]
Frontiers in Genetics, 2023 The polymorphism of the simple sequence repeat (SSR) in the 5′ untranslated coding region (5′-UTR) of the antiviral gene IRF (LvIRF) has been shown to be implicated in the resistance to viral pathogens in shrimp Litopenaeus vannamei (L. vannamei).

Challenges of sperm cryopreservation in transferring heat adaptation of corals across ocean basins [PDF]
PeerJ, 2022 Reef-building corals live very close to their upper thermal limits and their persistence is imperiled by a rapidly warming climate. Human interventions may be used to increase the thermal limits of sensitive corals by cross-breeding with heat-adapted ...

Comparison of the flavor qualities between two varieties of Mercenaria mercenaria
Scientific Reports, 2023 The saltwater hard clam Mercenaria mercenaria (M. mercenaria) as a representative of low-value shellfish, enhancing its flavor quality, is the key to enter the high-end market. Nevertheless, there has not been reported research on the flavor quality of M.
