Abstract excerpt
Three health indicators, plasma lysozyme activity, PCR-based detection of Renibacterium salmoninarum (a causative agent of bacterial kidney disease), and a necropsy-based Health Assessment Index (HAI), were used to examined genetically based variation in a captive population of chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha W.).
