Abstract:

The genetic parameters and genetic progress of harvest weight of turbot after breeding in three generations (G0, G1, G2 and G3) were evaluated. The data included 12,980 individuals from 590 families. The estimated heritability of harvested weight traits of G0, G1, G2 and G3 was 0.19±0.08, 0.18±0.09, 0.51±0.09 and 0.29±0.16, respectively, and the heritability across generations was 0.16±0.03. Based on the average estimated breeding value of all individuals and retained parental species in each generation, the selection differential is calculated, 45.6 g in G0, 13.1 g in G1, -27.9 g in G2, respectively, 10.3 g per generation. Genetic progression was 10.2 g, 37.4 g, and 0.3g, equivalent to 2.06%, 8.76%, and 0.04%, respectively. The cumulative genetic progress after three generations was 10.86% of body weight, with an average of 3.56% per generation, indicating that the breeding of weight traits of turbot was generally successful.
