Early prediction of long-term family growth performance based on cellular processes — A tool to expedite the establishment of superior foundation broodstock in breeding programs

Potential for adaptation to climate change in a coral reef fish

“…Maternal effects are thus expected to be strongest in early life and diminish as maternally derived resources are expended. Genes regulating individual growth and development will likely play an increasingly greater role as maternal resources are depleted, and new genes will be switched on throughout ontogenetic development, leading to a greater influence of genetic effects on phenotypic variation in size of older juveniles (Domingos et al ., ). To avoid possible confounding effects due to both differential parental care and common environmental tank effects on juvenile A. polyacanthus , and to untangle the contribution of (heritable) additive genetic effects on metabolic traits of relevance to thermal adaptation, offspring were separated from their parents at hatching and individually reared until 30 dph in this study.…”

“…For example, maternal effects on offspring energetic resources are strongest during early life and this could influence early life‐history growth and body condition (Mousseau & Fox, ; Donelson et al ., ). Conversely, genes regulating growth and development could play an increasingly greater role as maternal resources are depleted, and new genes will be switched on throughout development, possibly leading to a greater influence of genetic effects on phenotypic variation in older juveniles (Lindholm et al ., ; Domingos et al ., ). Consequently, it is necessary to consider both genetic and nongenetic maternal effects at different life stages to estimate their influence on offspring performance and the potential for populations to adjust to climate change.…”

Testing the Adaptive Potential of Yellowtail Kingfish to Ocean Warming and Acidification

“…Furthermore, not all adults within each tank contributed to breeding due to the inherent biology of natural spawning, whereby the spawning synchronicity among breeders is uncontrollable and individual breeder contributions to a cohort are variable, resulting in certain families dominating the cohort (e.g., Domingos et al, 2014a). Despite such limitations, we proceeded with genetic analysis without factoring for maternal environmental effects as, in our experience with larvae of large and prolific natural spawners, in which females produce millions of small eggs (∼1 mm in diameter) and yolk reserves are exhausted within the first week, environmental maternal effects are non-significant past metamorphosis (Domingos et al, 2014b).…”

The Genetic Research Methods and its Role in Aquaculture on Indonesia

“…This means that the value of performance or index-index used was considered as a variety of additives. Whether the minimum or maximum spreads that will be used as a benchmark depend on the objectives to be achieved, such as whether for ornamental fish or consumption fish, whereas the mean or even mode was the frequency of the most frequent or frequent traits that could be used to predict or predict the genetic variants of the individual [120,121].…”

“…Selection was usually based on a minimum level of performance or index. Fish or individuals that exceed the minimum performance or index will be selected as the parent stock while the individual under the index or minimum performance will be discarded or ignored [119,121,130]. This means that the ratio or index of the index measured or calculated was the value of the performance of individuals in a population.…”
