A Master's Thesis at the University of Basrah Examines the Physiological Criteria of Juvenile carp fish for Sustainable Development to Protect and Develop Aquatic Systems
A master's thesis at the College of Agriculture at the University of Basrah examined the analysis of the polymorphism of the follistatin gene and its association with growth characteristics and some physiological criteria of common juvenile carp.
The thesis, presented by master's student Duaa Abdel-Moneim Fahad, aims to determine the genetic structure of the follistatin gene in common carp and link the genetic formations of the gene with productive and physiological characteristics.
The thesis included a study of the genetic diversity of common juvenile carp for farmed species and specialized applications in fishing.
The study concluded the presence of two mutations, and each mutation resulted in two genetic structures.
The thesis recommended the use of polymorphism in the follistatin gene by selecting genetic structures that have a positive effect on the physiological performance of fish.
