QTL for body weight and condition factor in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar): comparative analysis with rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus).

Abstract excerpt

Genotypes at 91 microsatellite loci in three full-sib families were used to search for QTL affecting body weight (BW) and condition factor in North American Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). More than one informative marker was identified on 16-18 linkage groups in each family, allowing at least one chromosomal interval to be analyzed per linkage group. Two significant QTL for BW on linkage groups AS-8 and AS-11,...
