The main aim of the project is to advance our understanding of the concept of robustness in farmed fish so that robustness traits can be implemented in on-going breeding regimes. We want to determine why some farmed salmon are more robust and perform bett er than others, and to determine if these performance related traits are heritable, and if we can find genomic markers for these. So far, selective breeding has been mainly based on production performance characteristics collected at the end of the produc tion cycle. We do, however, not know why the best performing families are successful. Both the loci and the molecular pathways responding to such positive selection are largely unknown.
