The present invention discloses a method for identifying the
phenotype of
turbot with low-salt tolerance, belonging to the field of
selective breeding of economic traits of aquatic animals. The method is as follows: Prepare a culture pond, inject
fresh water, and adjust the
water temperature, dissolved
oxygen to be consistent with the environment where the test
population is located. After the test
turbot population has fasted for 72 hours, place it in the
fresh water pond for cultivation, and
record the initial time. Check the color change of the pigmented side of the fish body
every hour. After black stripes appear,
record the appearance time of the black stripes. Immediately return the experimental fish to the normal
salinity environment after the recording is completed, and the body color of the fish will recover. The determination of the
phenotype of
turbot with high-efficiency low-salt tolerance is realized according to the formula. The individual low-salt tolerance breeding
phenotype values are arranged from large to small, and the individuals with the top rankings are selected. The phenotype identification method provided by the present invention can achieve more efficient and accurate results, and cause no damage to the tested individuals, laying a foundation for subsequent genetic evaluation and
selective breeding of this trait.
