The Ohio State University Extension - South Centers - A family identification technique

A family identification technique

A family identification technique, using molecular markers, has been developed, and family identification for the 2004-year class of perch has been completed. The impacts of this program include an expected increase in production and market size of yellow perch by 35 to 50% by obtaining genetically improved broodfish.
