Standard metabolic rate does not associate with age‐at‐maturity genotype in juvenile Atlantic salmon
Abstract Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is a species with diverse life‐history strategies, to which the timing of maturation contributes considerably. Recently, the genome region including the gene vgll3 has gained attention as a locus with a large effect on Atlantic salmon maturation timing, and rec...
