| Remarks | Collectively termed `Big-Belly' because of their high gonado-somatic index. Exported to Israel in 1970 from Hongkong and Taiwan for crossbreeding experiments with European strains. The crossbreds show heterosis under crowded pond conditions with heavy manuring, with occasional gonad malformations. |
