heritability

RAD-sequencing

genomic prediction

Genetic improvement for Asian seabass Lates calcarifer is challenging due to difficulties in reproduction, larval rearing and on-grow in captive environments. The sector is facing four major issues: 1) lack of productive genetic lines and shortage of high quality seeds in aquaculture, 2) poor survival during nursery and grow-out phases and high cannibalism, 3) substantial economic loss due to diseases and 4) lack of new methods (e.g., genomic selection) to improve traits that are lowly heritable or difficult and expensive to measure.
