Abstract excerpt
Genetic evaluations of individual fish were calculated for growth traits in North American Atlantic salmon with and without inclusion of genetic markers. The number of SNP markers was reduced to 6,000 and further to 270 in order to reduce the problem of overparameterization. SNP genotypes were predicted for all ungenotyped animals in the pedigree. Analysis of traits used a model with polygenic effects and SNP...
