Genetic variation in parasite resistance of Atlantic salmon to amoebic gill disease over multiple infections
2012-10-01
Abstract excerpt
Genetic selection is being developed as a management tool for the control of amoebic gill disease (AGD) in Atlantic salmon. AGD is caused by an external gill parasite and is an animal health issue that results in significant economic loss to the Tasmanian salmon industry. This paper presents genetic parameters for AGD resistance, describes patterns of genetic variation over multiple infection cycles, and discusses...
