Genomic prediction of host resistance to sea lice in farmed Atlantic salmon populations
BACKGROUND: Sea lice have significant negative economic and welfare impacts on marine Atlantic salmon farming. Since host resistance to sea lice has a substantial genetic component, selective breeding can contribute to control of lice. Genomic selection uses genome-wide marker information to predict...
