Abstract

Fisheries Sciences

For the first time in India, selective breeding was carried out to genetically improve one of the most preferred carp species (Rohu). Under the program a range of selective breeding techniques (production of fullsib groups, individual identification by PIT tags, communal pond rearing, estimation of breeding value and ranking of individuals in different year classes) were used. In five generations of selection for greater harvest weight an average 17 % genetic gain per generation was obtained. On farm trials have proven the strain's superiority and it is being disseminated to farmers.
