Production and refinement of oil from carp (Cyprinus carpio) viscera (2010, background): “It is exclusively farmed in traditional extensive or semi-intensive pools (Vandeputte et al., 2008).”
Response to domestication and selection for growth in the European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) in separate and mixed tanks (2009, unknown): “This is still a good result considering that we used a large mating scheme (76×13 full factorial) with related sires which may generate lower assignment rates (as seen in carp, Vandeputte et al., 2008).”
Genetic analysis of common carp (Cyprinus carpio) strains I: Genetic parameters and heterosis for growth traits and survival (2010, background): “More recently, Vandeputte et al. (2008) reported a heritability of 0.44 for harvest body weight in common carp using records from three generations.”
Estimates of heritabilities and genetic correlations for growth and carcass traits in gilthead seabream (Sparus auratus L.), under industrial conditions (2009, background): “Weight and length are traits that are genetically and phenotypically correlated (Elvingson and Johansson, 1993; Winkelman and Peterson, 1994; Vandeputte et al., 2008), in concordance with the results of the present study at each age.”
