Abstract excerpt
Parasite resistance traits in aquaculture species often have moderate heritability, indicating the potential for genetic improvements by selective breeding. However, parasite resistance is often synonymous with an undesirable negative correlation with body size. In this study, we first tested the feasibility of genomic selection (GS) on resistance to heterobothriosis, caused by the monogenean parasite...
