Predicting selection response for growth of channel catfish.

Abstract excerpt

Estimates of heritability, phenotypic and genetic correlations were obtained for body length and weight at 5 months and body length and weight at 15 months in channel catfish. The estimates were obtained from a half-sib analysis by mating 20 males to two females each, producing 20 half-sib and 40 full-sib progeny families. Mortality of fish during the study reduced the number of families to 17 half-sib and 34...
