Article Synopsis
- Red tilapia, valued for its appealing coloration, suffers in market value due to black blotches on their skin, which negatively impact selective breeding efforts for blemish-free fish.
- The study investigated how these blotches affect growth rates and body measurements in various genetic groups of red tilapia over 250 days, using path analysis to determine the relationships between traits.
- Findings showed high correlation among body traits while revealing that black blotches have minimal direct and indirect effects on growth, suggesting the potential for breeding high-performance red tilapia without blemishes.
