Genetic and environmental influence on triploid Crassostrea virginica grown in Chesapeake Bay: Growth
2016-02-01
Abstract excerpt
Aquaculture of triploid Crassostreavirginica in the Chesapeake Bay, USA is popular with the majority of growers raising mostly triploids. This choice stems from improved growth and survival relative to diploids. Triploids are made commercially by crossing tetraploid males and diploid females, thus either or both parent could influence the performance of the triploid. We examined the influence of the female (diploi...
