Genotype Imputation To Improve the Cost-Efficiency of Genomic Selection in Farmed Atlantic Salmon
Genomic selection uses genome-wide marker information to predict breeding values for traits of economic interest, and is more accurate than pedigree-based methods. The development of high density SNP arrays for Atlantic salmon has enabled genomic selection in selective breeding programs, alongside high-resolution association mapping of the genetic basis of complex traits. However, in sibling te...
متن کاملSpinal deformities in farmed Atlantic salmon.
Spinal deformities in farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) are often observed in intensive farming systems and result in production losses. Many putative factors have been implicated with the formation of spinal deformities in larger salmon. This condition has been described as broken back syndrome, curvy back disease, and short tails.
متن کاملVaccination-induced systemic autoimmunity in farmed Atlantic salmon.
Over half of the salmon consumed globally are farm-raised. The introduction of oil-adjuvanted vaccines into salmon aquaculture made large-scale production feasible by preventing infections. The vaccines that are given i.p. contain oil adjuvant such as mineral oil. However, in rodents, a single i.p. injection of adjuvant hydrocarbon oil induces lupus-like systemic autoimmune syndrome, characteri...
متن کاملSensory characteristics of farmed and wild Atlantic salmon
The eating quality characteristics of farmed and wild Atlantic salmon, from locations in and around Northern Ireland, were compared by sensory analysis of frozen salmon. Quantitative descriptive analysis, using a trained panel, was used to compare specific attributes, while an untrained panel used hedonic scaling methods to assess acceptability. Freezing affected texture and appearance but had ...
متن کاملGenome-Wide Association and Genomic Selection for Resistance to Amoebic Gill Disease in Atlantic Salmon
Amoebic gill disease (AGD) is one of the largest threats to salmon aquaculture, causing serious economic and animal welfare burden. Treatments can be expensive and environmentally damaging, hence the need for alternative strategies. Breeding for disease resistance can contribute to prevention and control of AGD, providing long-term cumulative benefits in selected stocks. The use of genomic sele...
