Validation of linked QTL for bacterial cold water disease resistance and spleen size on rainbow trout chromosome Omy19
2014-08-01
Abstract excerpt
Bacterial cold water disease (BCWD) is caused by infection with Flavobacterium psychrophilum, and outbreaks cause significant economic losses in salmonid aquaculture. Previously, we identified a major QTL for BCWD resistance on rainbow trout chromosome Omy19 as well as a QTL for spleen size (SPLW=spleen weight and SPLI=spleen index) which in naïve fish is a surrogate indicator of BCWD resistance. The objective of...
