A major QTL for resistance against Salmonid Rickettsial Septicaemia in coho salmon ( <i>Oncorhynchus kisutch</i> ) maps to a narrow region on chromosome 21, implicating two candidate genes

Abstract excerpt
The facultative intracellular bacterium Piscirickettsia salmonis causes Salmon Rickettsial Syndrome (SRS) in Coho salmon, Atlantic salmon, and other salmonids. SRS causes large mortalities in Chilean aquaculture and leads to heavy usage of antibiotics. In Atlantic salmon SRS resistance is a polygenic trait with moderate to large heritability. In coho salmon a large QTL for SRS-resistance was earlier found on chro...
