TL;DR: It is hypothesized that this phenomenon may be explained by historical admixture of different founder populations, expected to reduce short-range lice density (LD) and induce long-range LD of an admixed population, while efficient utilization of relationship information may require denser markers.

TL;DR: A linkage disequilibrium-based test for deducing the QTL allele was developed, and how it was used to produce IPN-resistant salmon, leading to a 75% decrease in the number of IPN outbreaks in the salmon farming industry.

TL;DR: A systemic view of lipid metabolism pathways is presented based on lipid analyses and transcriptomic data from salmon fed contrasting diets of plant or fish oil from first feeding, suggesting that fingerlings have less metabolic regulatory control when primed with plant oil diet compared with juveniles.

TL;DR: The up-regulation of the de-novo PtdCho and PtdEtn pathways confirm that salmon have decreasing requirement for dietary PL as the fish develops, and similar expressions between Ss4R homologous genes suggest that the functional divergence of these genes was incomplete compared to homologs derived from other genome duplication.

TL;DR: A clear impact of domestication on transcriptomic regulation linked to metabolism is revealed and suggests that unintentional selection in the domestic environment has resulted in evolution of stronger compensatory mechanisms to a diet low in LC‐PUFAs.
