Abstract excerpt
The objective of this study was to test that additive genetic (co)variation for survival, growth rate, feed conversion efficiency, and resistance to viral haemorrhagic septicaemia (VHS) exists within a farmed population of rainbow trout. Thirty sires and 30 dams were mated by a partly factorial mating design. Each sire was mated to two dams, and each dam was mated to two sires, producing 50 viable full-sib familie...
