Negative genetic correlation between resistance against Piscirickettsia salmonis and harvest weight in coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch)
2016-06-01
Abstract excerpt
One of the major infectious diseases affecting coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) aquaculture is the Salmon Rickettsial Syndrome caused by Piscirickettsia salmonis. Conventional control measures such as antibiotics and vaccines have shown inconsistent results in production conditions. Thus, genetic improvement for P. salmonis resistance represents an alternative for the prevention of outbreaks. In the present stud...
