Amoebic gill disease (AGD) is a parasitic disease caused by the amoeba Paramoeba perurans, which colonizes the gill tissues and causes distress for the host. AGD can cause high morbidity and mortalities in salmonid and non-salmonid fish species. To understand the genetic basis of AGD and improve health status of farmed A. salmon, a population of ~ 6,100 individuals belonging to 150 full-sib families was monitored...
