Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Competition is a common social interaction among shrimp and depending on its intensity, it can affect heritable variation and response to selection. Little is known about the variance of indirect genetic effects (IGE) under competitive and non-competitive conditions in shrimp. In this study, we used extended mixed linear models to estimate genetic parameters for the direct genetic effect (DGE) and IGE...
