Genetic variation in growth pattern within a population of farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) during a standard production cycle
2020-03-01
Abstract excerpt
Selection for faster growth to market size has a long history in selective breeding programs for aquaculture species. In Atlantic salmon, selection for faster growth has been carried out for more than four decades, i.e. about ten generations. Genetic improvement of growth rate is indicated as favourable correlated to improved feed utilization and, from an economic perspective, it can be argued that improved feed u...
