Abstract excerpt
We tested for associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in five candidate genes allied with the growth hormone axis and the age-specific growth rate of Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus L.: Salmonidae). Two large full sib families (N=217 and 95) were created by backcrossing males that were hybrids between two phenotypically divergent populations from Labrador, Canada and from Nauyuk Lake, Canada...
