Four distinct types of edges
(1) Reported mating with named parents; (2) multi-background selective contribution with unknown sequence; (3) reported phenotypic emergence under selection; (4) visual/trade pattern resemblance only. Only (1) is a genuine directed individual-cross statement if the source specifies a mother and father; none of these sources supplies verified genome-assigned allele inheritance.

SCIENCE GATE: no verified locus genotypes, no published sample counts;
do not turn arrows into universal Mendelian ratios or a single founder tree.First-party and cross-report references
- First-party Skyfish/AQUARAMA interview (2018) — First-person breeding-project history; crossing order and generation counts undisclosed

Breeder evidence protocol
Record a photo ID and provenance for each P shrimp, biological species identification and colony name, exact date and mating direction, observed egg/juvenile survival, number of scorable F1/F2, trait-score rubric at consistent maturity, and at least two independent replicate families. Only then compare measured proportions to explicit genetic models.
Current dataset conclusion
12 evidence cases; 5 breeder-profile dossiers; zero published raw brood-level denominators suitable for an independently testable F2 segregation estimate. Skyfish's three-year history is real first-party historical evidence of a selected program, not proof of a three-gene formula.
