Estimates of heritabilities and genetic correlations of carcass quality traits in a reared gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata L.) population sourced from three broodstocks along the Spanish coasts

This study proves the importance of the acquisition of a stock in sea bream since the studied origins of the broodstock had an effect on different carcass traits. Moreover, genetic parameters are estimated for these traits which are scarce for this species.
