Non-invasive prediction of vertebral deformities and mineral deposition using Computed Tomography (CT) for the advancement in breeding of Atlantic salmon

The aim of this thesis was to develop a method for determination of vertebral deformities and mineral deposition in the skeleton of gutted Atlantic salmon using a novel non-invasive method based on computer tomography (CT). Furthermore, to estimate heritabilities for vertebra deformity and mineral d...
