| Summary: | The presence genetic by environment interaction (GxE) tells that strains respond differently to changes in environmental/ climate parameters. Existence of such variation may hinder the optimal realization of genetic gain and affects the competitiveness of aquaculture industry. However, estimates of GxE are lacking for many economically important traits (Sae-Lim et al, 2016), and need to be assessed to enable optimization of breeding programs towards development of robust genetic material for future conditions. Climate changes and increased water temperature may cause higher risk for certain disease outbreaks in aquaculture (Towers, 2015, Khaw et al., 2019), and consequently selective breeding for better robustness is of interest. The aim of this work is to assess the genetic variation for climate resilience in growth traits in A. salmon. ... |
