Genetic parameters for resistance to Aeromonas hydrophila in the Neotropical fish pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus)
2019-11-01
Abstract excerpt
Pacu (Piaractus mesopotamicus) is one of the main farmed freshwater fish species of South America. Disease outbreaks caused by Aeromonas hydrophila are considered one of the major bottlenecks for the development of pacu production. Genetic selection for disease resistance may represent a sustainable and effective alternative to reduce mortality and, therefore, improve productive performance of pacu. To verify whet...
