Abstract excerpt
In this study, genetic parameters were obtained for growth and cold tolerance of 99 Fenneropenaeus chinensis juvenile families by means of indoor artificial cooling (starting from 14°C, 2°C/d). A linear mixed model was fitted to estimate variance components using the ASReml software package. Heritabilities estimated for body weight (BW) and body length (BL) of F. chinensis juveniles were 0.078 ± 0.124 and 0.131 ±...
