Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Gill-related morbidity and mortality have become a major concern to the Atlantic salmon industry worldwide. Understanding the genetic mechanisms underlying susceptibility to gill diseases or lesions can help guide mitigation efforts. Genome-wide association analysis was conducted on gill scores from two large cohorts of Atlantic salmon populations, reared in Norway and Canada, that were phenotyped...
