Abstract excerpt
Haliotis midae is one of the most important molluscs in South African commercial aquaculture. In this study, a high-resolution integrated linkage map was constructed, and QTL identified using 2b-RADseq for genotyping SNPs in three families. The final integrated linkage map was composed by merging the individual family maps, resulting in 3290 informative SNPs mapping to 18 linkage groups, conforming to the known...
