Estimation of the Heritabilities for Body Shape and Body Weight in Yellow River Carp (Cyprinus carpio haematopterus) Based on a Molecular Pedigree

Table 3

Phenotypic correlations ± standard error (above the diagonal), genetic correlations ± standard error (below the diagonal), and heritability ± standard error (diagonal) of body weight and body shape estimated from 750 Yellow River carp at 8 months posthatching.

Traits	Body length	Body height	Body weight
Body length	0.268 ± 0.107	0.831 ± 0.015	0.927 ± 0.007
Body height	0.952 ± 0.004	0.338 ± 0.124	0.913 ± 0.009
Body weight	0.980 ± 0.015	0.987 ± 0.011	0.340 ± 0.124

The bold value in table 3 represent the heritability of different growth traits, and there is no statistical analysis of heritabilities. Therefore, we had not labeled the significance.
