Catch & Culture Review: Are genetic correlations to spawning traits of Pacific white shrimp actionable?
Can genetics help solve a limiting factor for China’s shrimp sector? We look at a study examining the high rates of non-spawning females in hatcheries.

Genetic parameters and comparison of stress-tolerance traits in different strains of Pacific white shrimp
An estimation model identifies genetic variances across mating combinations for stress resistance traits and families with heightened stress tolerance.

Assessing the use of image analysis in breeding programs for growth and yield traits in meagre
Multi-trait selection captures genetic variability and can possibly detect fish with superior genetic potential while reducing human error.

Evaluating genetic parameters for resistance to Tilapia Lake Virus in Nile tilapia
Study estimates genetic parameters for host resistance to Tilapia Lake Virus in a Nile tilapia and finds TiLV resistance is highly heritable.
