Rotifer & Artemia delivery per tank per day.

(A) Daily rotifer concentration delivered per growth treatment, excluding weekends (day 8 & 9). Open circles = LF, closed squares = HF. (B) Daily Artemia nauplii delivered per growth treatment, excluding weekends. Open circles = LF, closed squares = HF.

Growth curves of two F0 wild-type strains from 5 to 60 DPF.

Mean total body length for two F0 generation wild-type strains, (A) AB and (B) Tü. Growth curves are represented by mean ± standard deviation. Open circles = LF, closed squares = HF.

Measurement of reproductive performance in AB wild-type fish, F0 generation.

Reproductive performance for the F0 (A, B) AB wild-type strain and (C, D) Tü wild-type line. (A) Fecundity is defined as the total number of live embryos spawned and (B) viability is defined as the percentage of live embryos at 24-hours post fertilization. Data shown as the mean ± standard deviation. Significant differences at each week are noted with * indicating p ≤ 0.05, ** indicating p ≤ 0.01, and *** indicating p ≤ 0.001 by successive two-tailed T-Test, n = 3 represented by 30 fish from each growth treatment.

Growth Curves of two F1 wild-type lines from 5 to 90 DPF.

Growth curves for two F1 generation wildtype lines (offspring of F0), (A) AB and (B) Tü from 5 to 90 DPF. Slow growth curves are represented by mean ± standard deviation. Open circles = LF from F0 LF parents, closed squares = LF from F0 HF parents.

Measurement of reproductive performance in Tü wild-type fish, F1 generation.

Reproductive performance for the F1 (A, B) AB wild-type strain and (C, D) Tü wild-type strain. (A) Fecundity defined as the total number of live embryos spawned and (B) viability defined as the percentage of live embryos at 24-hours post fertilization. Data shown as the mean ± standard deviation. No significant differences were measured in either fecundity or viability, n = 3 represented by 30 fish from each growth treatment.

Fold change of embryo viability.

Embryo viability measured from the F0 and F1 generations were used to calculate the fold change of the LF/HF in both wild-type strains (A) AB, (B) Tü. Values that deviate from 1.0 demonstrate a greater difference in reproductive performance.
