Artificial selection can significantly improve animal performance in culture, but one of the
major concerns in genetic programs is inbreeding, which can affect fitness-related traits, and …

This study aimed to estimate the genetic parameters of growth-related traits (weight and
length), morphological traits (cephalothorax, abdomen, length, height, segment width and …

The family based selective breeding program for P. vannamei initiated in Colombia in 1998
has focused on improving harvest weight (HW), overall pond or tank survival (PS) and, since …

The Mexican shrimp culture industry is based upon Penaeus (Litopenaeus) vannamei
broodstock with a presumed common genetic origin and more than 10 generations of closed …

A multivariate animal model and multi-generational data from a two-stage selection shrimp
breeding program were used to estimate genetic parameters for a genetic nucleus of …

The Latin American shrimp Litopenaeus stylirostris was introduced in three different Pacific
islands (Tahiti, New Caledonia via Tahiti, and Hawaii) and hatchery-propagated for 7–25 …

In 1997, CENIACUA (Centro de Investigaciones para la Acuicultura en Colombia) in
collaboration with AKVAFORSK (Institute of Aquaculture Research, Norway) initiated a …

The aim of this study was to estimate heterosis and heritability for harvest body weight of the
Pacific white shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) measured at commercial farm conditions …

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of inbreeding on the performance of
Pacific white shrimp, Penaeus (Litopenaeus) vannamei, under various culture conditions …

The disease crisis facing shrimp aquaculture may be propelled, in part, by an interaction
between management practices that cause inbreeding, and the amplification by inbreeding …
