Breeding for disease resistance of Penaeid shrimps (2009, background): “Furthermore, indirect selection is particularly appropriate when the desired character is difficult to measure precisely (Fjalestad 2005).”
Response to domestication and selection for growth in the European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) in separate and mixed tanks (2009, unknown): “This value is clearly in the high range of observed response to selection infish (10–30% per generation, see review by Gjedrem and Thodesen, 2005), and is promising for the future of sea bass selective breeding.”
Heritability for body weight at harvest size in the Pacific white shrimp, Penaeus (Litopenaeus) vannamei, from a multi-environment experiment using univariate and multivariate animal models (2007, methodology): “Since family selection is an important component for the shrimp industry genetic programs (Gjedrem, 2005), families were ranked using BW phenotypic means and using BW predicted breeding value means based on BLUP solutions.”
