Mollisols (black soils) are widely distributed in the northeast of China and are considered to be highly fecund and productive (Wei et al. 2008).

Until recently, most family based selective breeding programs for shrimp, and other highly fecund aquaculture species, have been restricted by the number of animals that can be physically tagged and individually selected.
