Abstract excerpt
Streptococcosis is a major disease that causes huge economic losses to tilapia farming in Thailand. Breeding for Streptococcosis agalactiae resistant strains using the pedigree BLUP method has proven an effective approach to control the disease in red tilapia, but the accuracy of selection is relatively low. Genomic selection, which is based on genome-wide markers to predict genomic breeding values of selection...
