Abstract

Investigating genotype by environment interactions is vital when genetically improved animals will be used for culture purpose across many heterogeneous environments. Information on genetic parameters for essential traits in different breeding programs may help define selection criteria for aquatic animals. Estimating genetic correlations and GXE interaction for selected traits at different farming periods is a strategy to accelerate the selection of superior animals, thereby reducing breeding program costs. In this mini-review, the importance of various genetic parameters has been discussed.
