Potential for Genetic Improvement of the Main Slaughter Yields in Common Carp With in vivo Morphological Predictors

Potential for Genetic Improvement of the Main Slaughter Yields in Common Carp With in vivo Morphological Predictors

Common carp is a major aquaculture species worldwide, commonly sold alive but also as processed headless carcass or filets. However, recording of processing yields is impossible on live breeding candidates, and alternatives for genetic improvement are either sib selection based on slaughtered fish,...
