Quantifying the genetic parameters of feed efficiency in juvenile Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus

Abstract Background Improving feed efficiency in fish is crucial at the economic, social and environmental levels with respect to developing a more sustainable aquaculture. The important contribution of genetic improvement to achieve this goal has been hampered by the lack of accurate basic informat...
