Project Number: 6066-31000-012-024-R
Project Type: Reimbursable Cooperative Agreement
Start Date: May 1, 2018
End Date: Apr 30, 2019
Objective:
To develop management strategies to keep/cull groups of channel catfish females based on repeatable reproductive performance to improve the efficiency of hybrid catfish fry production.
Approach:
To determine correlations between reproductive traits of individual catfish females induced to ovulate in two consecutive spawning seasons on reproductive performance in two years to develop strategies for on-farm selection of gravid females to improve the reproductive efficiency of catfish to produce hybrid catfish fry.
