MSTG individuals from all families were tested in multiple small test groups (105 square concrete tanks of approximately 3 m2), OLTG individuals from all families were tested in one large test group (a circular concrete tank of 300 m2)

aGeneration

bMean body weight (g)

cMinimum body weight (g)

dMaximum body weight (g)

eStandard deviations for body weight (g)

fCoefficient of variation for body weight (%)

gNumbers of paternal and maternal half-sib families were equal to 10 and 26, respectively, but the number of half-sib families indicated is less than 36 because three full-sib families were identical between the paternal and maternal groups

hThe sex of 10 individuals was not identified when measuring body weight at harvest, thus, the number of male and female shrimp was less than the total number of individuals with observations on body weight
