“…Genetic improvement program for increasing the growth performance of Megalobrama amblycephala conducted in China through five generations of mass selection yielded in 29% response to selection for body weight (Li & Cai, 2003). Three generations of mass selection for improving the growth performance of Barbodes gonionotus in Bangladesh resulted in cumulative response to selection of 21.9% (Hussain et al, 2002).…”

Genetic improvement of the African catfish (Clarias gariepinus) in Indonesia for increasing growth performance has been conducted by Research Institute for Fish Breeding at Sukamandi through mass selection. Collection and characterizations of the founder populations, building the synthetic base population, first generation and second generation through mass selection were conducted during 2010-2013. Later, in 2014 it was followed by building the third generation. The present study aimed to find out the genetic gain in the third generation in term of response to selection for body weight. Fifty-two pairs of the selected (fast growing) individuals from the second generation were mated to produce the third generation. As a comparison, five pairs of average-sized individuals were mated to produce the control population, as a second generation representative. Larval rearing, nursery and grow-out phases were respectively held for 25 days in the aquaria, 30 days in the concrete ponds and 60 days in the concrete ponds. At the end of each phase, individual samplings of body weight were undertaken. The results showed that mean body weight of the third generation was higher than that of control population at the end of larval rearing phase (0.21 ± 0.26 g versus 0.20 ± 0.15 g), nursery phase (6.12 ± 2.93 g versus 5.80 ± 3.50 g) and grow-out phase (198.67 ± 82.82 g versus 165.22 ± 71.09 g). Those results revealed that response to selection for body weight of the third generation was positive, i.e. about 20.24% (33.45 g).

“…Selection of a population with a high genetic diversity can improve the effect of selection, but it is usually not effective in pure strains. Hussain, Islam and Hossain et al . (2002) used three genetic populations of silver barb to create a base population throughout a complete 3 × 3 diallele cross, and then carried out mass selections through the population, which yielded a significant GG.…”

A base population of the bay scallop, Argopecten irradians irradians Lamarck, was produced by crossing two cultured bay scallop populations. After1year of rearing, the top10% truncation selection of the top 10% (i 51.755) was carried out in the base population of about 1300 adults. A control parental group with a an identical number to the select parental group was randomly selected from the entire population before isolation of the select parental group. The result showed that, at the larval stage, the growth rate of larvae in the selected line was signi¢cantly higher than that of the control (Po0.05), and that the genetic gain was 6.78%. Owing to the lower density of control at the spat stage, the mean shell length of the control line was larger than that of the select line at day 100. When the same density was adjusted between two lines in the grow-out stage (from day 100 to 160), the daily growth rate of the selected line was signi¢cantly higher than that of the control line (Po0.05). Survival of the select line was signi¢cantly larger than that of the control line in the grow-out stage. In conclusion, the results obtained from this experiment indicate that selective breeding from a base population with a high genetic diversity established by mass spawning between di¡erent populations appears to be a promising method of genetic improvement in bay scallop, A. irradians irradians Lamarck.

“…In Bangladesh, encouraging results were obtained from genetic improvement of silver barb, B. gonionotus through several generations of selection (up to the fourth generation). The selected strain was found to be 28% superior to nonselected existing strain, indicating that the development of "super strain" of silver barb is possible (Hussain et al 2002) .…”
