DATA-DRIVEN BREEDING TECHNOLOGIES
We pittag each broodstock candidate individually. Measurements at different developmental stages are standardized. Based on the trait features, the data are organized into binarial, proportional, or continuous variables. All information is uploaded into our database, creating a comprehensive description of each shrimp.
