Quantifying the genetic parameters of feed efficiency in juvenile Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus

Until now, the very few studies in fish that estimated genetic parameters of individual variation of feed efficiency traits used the X-ray methodology. This method has a poor repeatability of daily feed intake between two records (r = 0.09 to 0.32 [27, 30, 31]), and is thus likely to be unreliable since fish show strong variation in FI from meal to meal and from day to day [40, 41]. This problem has been solved by using repeated measurements over a long period of time.
