Maternal age has influence on growth and survival of offspring in number of species, perhaps through enhanced immune system and overall fitness. We measured weight, survival and disease resistance from a total 100 Atlantic cod full-sib and half-sib families: 44 second generation (F2) and 66 third generation (F3) families produced using 2- or 3-year-old parents, respectively.
