Abstract

Phenotypic and genetic parameters for growth-related traits in the half-smooth tongue sole

Cynoglossus semilaevis

were estimated in 22 full-sib families produced by normal and neo-male breeding stocks. As phenotypic males with female genotypes

neo-males are harmful in C. semilaevis aquaculture because they reduce overall production. The present study evaluated the difference in the growth-related traits: total length (TL)

body weight (BW) and square root of body weight (SQ_BW) at the age of 570 days between normal and neo-male offspring (neo-males used as male parents). The difference in the proportion of females between normal and neo-male offspring was also assessed. Based on the linear mixed model

restricted maximum likelihood (REML) and best linear unbiased prediction (BLUP) were used to estimate various (co)variance components and estimated breeding values (EBVs) of growth-related traits. As a result

all the mean values of the three studied traits were significantly larger in normal offspring than in neo-male offspring. Additionally

the female proportion was significantly larger in normal offspring than in neo-male offspring. Heritability was 0.128±0.066 2 for TL

0.128±0.065 5 for BW and 0.132±0.062 9 for SQ_BW

all of which were low level heritabilities. The correlation coefficients of EBVs and phenotypic values of the target traits were 0.516 for TL

0.524 for BW and 0.506 for SQ_BW

all of which were highly significant (P <0.01). Genetic correlations among TL

BW and SQ_BW were positive high (0.921–0.969) and higher than those of phenotype (0.711–0.748)

both of which had low standard errors (0.063–0.123 for genotype

and 0.010–0.018 for phenotype). Compared with normal offspring

neo-male offspring have lower breeding values for each studied trait through EBVs comparison. Therefore

neo-male offspring should not be used as broodstock in a C. semilaevis breeding programs.
