Genetic variation of gross gill pathology and survival of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) during natural amoebic gill disease challenge
2009-09-01
Abstract excerpt
Survival in an experimental disease challenge test or to natural disease challenge is utilised by aquaculture breeding programs as the selection trait for disease resistance. However, these trials are expensive and do not offer the ability to retest animals. The aim of this study was therefore to estimate genetic parameters for resistance to amoebic gill disease (AGD) measured by a categorical scale of gross gill...
