Quantitative Genetics of Growth Rate and Filet Quality Traits in Atlantic Salmon Inferred From a Longitudinal Bayesian Model for the Left-Censored Gaussian Trait Growth Rate

Quantitative Genetics of Growth Rate and Filet Quality Traits in Atlantic Salmon Inferred From a Longitudinal Bayesian Model for the Left-Censored Gaussian Trait Growth Rate

In selective breeding programs for Atlantic salmon, test fish are slaughtered at an average body weight where growth rate and carcass traits as filet fat (FF), filet pigment (FP) and visceral fat index (FF) are recorded. The objective of this study was to obtain estimates of genetic correlations bet...
