The present study examined the variation in sur- vival, proportion of male morphotypes, female and male proportion, female reproductive status and tag losses in nine crosses from a complete (3 9 3) dial- lel mating of three populations of Macrobrachium rosenbergii in India. The populations originated from Gujarat (north-west), Kerala (south-west) and Odisha (east), representing different agro-ecological regions in India. Progeny from 60 families (4773 juveniles) were individually tagged and reared for 16-17 weeks in earthen ponds. Binary logistic regression was used to analyse the data. Survival rate was greatest (0.88) for Kerala 9 Odisha (KO; the first letter represents the sire), whereas it was lowest (0.75) for both Kerala 9 Kerala (KK) and Gujarat 9 Kerala (GK). Significantly greater pro- portions of large male morphotypes were observed in KK cross and in combinations involving Kerala population. The highest proportion of immature females, as well as of non-berried females, was observed in the Odisha 9 Odisha (OO) cross. Tag loss was greatest for KK (0.35) and lowest for GG (0.19). We found significant variations among crosses for all studied traits suggesting the possibil- ity of including them in genetic improvement pro- grammes of this species. |
