The partial diallel can be used to enable the study of the combining ability of a relatively large group of parents (CRUZ et al., 2012).

The effects of the general and specific combining abilities of the parents were estimated using the method proposed by Griffing (1956) for analysis of diallel with parents, F1 hybrids and F1 reciprocals, (Method I), considering the effect of treatments as fixed.
A novel method was produced to explore the catch-up like growth from diallel cross-breeding due to its similarity with high growth speed in the later period for common carp Cyprinus carpio L cross-breeding.
