Potential impact of genetically improved carp strains in Asia

During the past one decade, the WorldFish Center and its research partners have made a systematic attempt to improve the productivity of carps through selective breeding in the major carp-producing countries in Asia. This paper analyses the potential impact of culturing the improved carp strain in five Asian countries (Bangladesh, China, India, Thailand and Vietnam), using a three-step procedure. These steps are: (i) development of a fish sector...
