Maternal, dominance and additive genetic effects in Nile tilapia; influence on growth, fillet yield and body size traits.

Abstract excerpt

There are only few studies of dominance effects in non-inbred aquaculture species, since commonly used mating designs often have low power to separate dominance, maternal and common environmental effects. Here, a factorial design with reciprocal cross, common rearing of eggs and subsequent lifecycle stages and pedigree assignment using DNA microsatellites was used to separate these effects and estimate dominance...
