Quantitative genetic variation for resistance to the parasite Ichthyophthirius multifiliis in the Neotropical fish tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum)

Quantitative genetic variation for resistance to the parasite Ichthyophthirius multifiliis in the Neotropical fish tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum)

Tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum) is the main native fish produced in continental aquaculture from South America. However, its production has been negatively affected by significant economic losses due to frequent outbreaks caused by the parasite Ichthyophthirius multifiliis. Genetic selection for I....
