Genetic parameters for body weight and survival in the Pacific White Shrimp Penaeus (Litopenaeus) vannamei affected by a White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) natural outbreak
2015-10-01
Abstract excerpt
White Spot Syndrome Virus (WSSV) is a disease that causes large economic losses in the shrimp industry. Genetic improvement is a strategy for controlling some diseases in aquaculture. Genetic parameter estimates for body weight and survival in the presence of WSSV have been obtained from laboratory challenge experimental designs, but there are no studies in the presence of a WSSV natural outbreak. The aims of this...
