Abstract excerpt
The twospot puffer (Takifugu bimaculatus) is a species of significant aquacultural value in East Asia, yet its production is constrained by slow growth rates and suboptimal body morphology. To advance genetic enhancement via marker-assisted selection, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) focusing on traits related to body shape. Utilizing a full-sib family comprising 167 individuals to reduce...
