Abstract excerpt
The traits that are important for adaptation may exhibit genetic correlation due to pleiotropy or as a result of linkage. Understanding the genetic architecture of such correlations is important for predicting the selection response of populations. Exploration in fishes is a behavioural trait by which individuals may find habitats with better foraging and growth opportunities that subsequently improve their...
