Abstract excerpt
Current aquaculture breeding programs aimed at improving resistance to diseases are based on challenge tests, where performance is recorded on sibs of candidates to selection, and on selection between families. Genome-wide evaluation (GWE) of breeding values offers new opportunities for using variation within families when dealing with such traits. However, up-to-date studies on GWE in aquaculture programs have...
