Non-additive genetic effects contribute to larval spinal deformity in two populations of Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha)
2009-11-01
Abstract excerpt
Losses due to larval spinal deformities are widespread in hatchery production. However, the aetiology of this disease remains unclear in most fishes, despite overwhelming evidence for a genetic role in other vertebrate taxa. We examined the contribution of additive and non-additive genetic effects and maternal effects to the incidence of spinal deformity in 50,800 larval Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) d...
