| 【Objective】The study was carried out to explore the effects of the morphological traits on body weight for
Cyprinus carpio rubrofuscus F5 generation cultured in paddy fields.【Method】Nine growth traits including total length（X1）,
body length（X2）, body height（X3）, head height（X4）, head length（X5）, caudal peduncle height（X6）, caudal
peduncle length（X7）, body width（X8）and body weight（Y）of C. carpio rubrofuscus F5 generation cultured in paddy
fields were measured. The path analysis was used to analyze the data.【Result】The body weight coefficient of variation of F5 C. carpio rubrofuscus cultured in paddy fields was 9.39%. Stepwise multiple regression analysis results showed that
there were two morphological traits of body width（X8）and body length（X2）that significantly affected body weight. Direct
path coefficient and indirect path coefficient of body width were 0.617 and 0.264, and direct path coefficient and indirect path
coefficient of body length were 0.403 and 0.404. The discriminant formula was Y=-231.615+71.416X8+10.934X2（R2
=0.868）.
【Conclusion】The C. carpio rubrofuscus F5 generation was bred with the growth rate and body shape as breeding indicators.
The body weight coefficient of variation of F5 generation was lower than that of control population, and the body shape of the
selected offspring was more consistent. Body width and body length were the main morphological traits effecting body weight.
The study results will provide basal data for further breeding of C. carpio rubrofuscus cultured in paddy fields. |
