Growth rate correlates to individual heterozygosity in the European eel, Anguilla anguilla L.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Jan 2005

Abstract excerpt

Heterozygosity-fitness correlations (HFCs) have been reported in populations of many species. We provide evidence for a positive correlation between genetic variability and growth rate at 12 allozyme loci in a catadromous marine fish species, the European eel (Anguilla anguilla L.). More heterozygous individuals show a significantly higher length and weight increase and an above average condition index in...
