| Abstract | ABSTRACT Eighteen to 29 families of red drum were generated via spontaneous spawning of multiple sets of three dams × two sires. In 2002, offspring from spawning events were grown in separate larval ponds to a mean TL of 30.4 mm. In 2003, offspring from spawning events were individually passive integrated transponder (PIT)-tagged and grown in “common-garden” tanks from 121.9 to 166.6 mm. Offspring in both experiments were assigned to parents based on genotypes at four microsatellite loci. Heritability estimates were 0.24 ± 0.06 (larval TL) and 0.48 ± 0.16 (juvenile-specific growth rate in length) and indicate a significant genetic component for both traits. |
