The genetic correlation between feed conversion ratio and growth rate affects the design of a breeding program for more sustainable fish production
BACKGROUND: Most fish breeding programs aim at improving growth rate and include feed conversion ratio (FCR) neither in the breeding goal nor in the selection index, although decreasing FCR is known to increase farm profit and decrease environmental impacts. This is because FCR is difficult to measu...
