Research Progress on Germplasm Resources,Breeding and Reproduction of Channa argus
Channa argus is an important freshwater economic fish in inland China.For its strong viability,C.argus is widely distributed in major rivers nationwide except Tibetan Plateau and Northwest China.Howev-er,its rich natural resources have been seriously affected by changes in water environment and overfishing.This paper summarizes the current situation of germplasm distribution,conservation,resource identification,e-valuation and breeding of C.argus,and systematically combs the research results of C.argus germplasm from the aspects of morphology,growth,genetics,nutrition,embryonic development,reproduction and breeding.Meanwhile,the paper puts forward problems and prospects in resource protection,breeding and green culture,in order to provide reference for the protection and utilization of C.argus germplasm resources.
