Selection for feed efficiency in Atlantic salmon using individual indicator traits based on stable isotope profiling

Abstract Background We used stable isotope profiling (15N and 13C) to obtain indicator phenotypes for feed efficiency in aquaculture. Our objectives were to (1) examine whether atom percent of stable isotopes of nitrogen and carbon can explain more of the variation in feed conversion ratio than grow...
