Abstract
Genetic variability and growth pattern of metric traits were studied in inbred lines of L. reticulatus (Peters) obtained by crossing full sibs in 3 generations. Sub-sublines with different growth rates of body length and body weight were identified; on the whole inbred population a genetic analysis was performed for both traits at different ages on raw data and on data adjusted for growth rate regression. Both analyses reveal the presence of a great amount of genotype-environment interaction and of a certain amount of genetic variation for body traits. The differences concerning the genetic components of variation observed in the 2 analyses within each population indicate an influence of the different growth rates of sub-sublines on the detection of genetic variability.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
