Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Aquaculture is the quickest growing sector in agriculture. However, QTL for important traits have been only identified in a few aquaculture species. We conducted QTL mapping for growth traits in an Asian seabass F(2) family with 359 individuals using 123 microsatellites and 22 SNPs, and performed association mapping in four populations with 881 individuals. RESULTS: Twelve and nine significant QTL, as...
