The influence of vgll3 genotypes on sea age at maturity is altered in farmed mowi strain Atlantic salmon

Abstract Background In Atlantic salmon in the wild, age at maturity is strongly influenced by the vgll3 locus. Under farming conditions, light, temperature and feeding regimes are known significantly advance or delay age at maturity. However, the potential influence of the vgll3 locus on the maturat...
