Viability of brown trout embryos positively linked to melanin-based but negatively to carotenoid-based colours of their fathers

‘Good-genes’ models of sexual selection predict significant additive genetic variation for fitness-correlated traits within populations to be revealed by phenotypic traits. To test this prediction, we sampled brown trout (Salmo trutta) from their natural spawning place, analysed their carotenoid-bas...
