The relative importance of genetic, maternal, and tank effects on the growth of juvenile Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus) was examined in an incomplete factorial mating design (4 dams × 4 sires) with stock from the Fraser River, Labrador, Canada. Egg size and hatching success were related only to d...
