description | Abstract Background Selective breeding is a promising solution to reduce the vulnerability of fish farms to heat waves, which are predicted to increase in intensity and frequency. However, limited information about the genetic architecture of acute hyperthermia resistance in fish is available. Two batches of sibs from a rainbow trout commercial line were produced: the first (N = 1382) was phenotyped for acute hyperthermia resistance at nine months of age and the second (N = 1506) was phenotyped for main production traits (growth, body length, muscle fat content and carcass yield) at 20 months of age. Fish were genotyped on a 57 K single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array and their genotypes were imputed to high-density based on the parent’s genotypes from a 665 K SNP array. Results The heritability estimate of resistance to acute hyperthermia was 0.29 ± 0.05, confirming the potential of selective breeding for this trait. Since genetic correlations of acute hyperthermia resistance with the main production traits near harvest age were all close to zero, selecting for acute hyperthermia resistance should not impact the main production traits, and vice-versa. A genome-wide association study revealed that resistance to acute hyperthermia is a highly polygenic trait, with six quantitative trait loci (QTL) detected, but explaining less than 5% of the genetic variance. Two of these QTL, including the most significant one, may explain differences in acute hyperthermia resistance across INRAE isogenic lines of rainbow trout. Differences in mean acute hyperthermia resistance phenotypes between homozygotes at the most significant SNP was 69% of the phenotypic standard deviation, showing promising potential for marker-assisted selection. We identified 89 candidate genes within the QTL regions, among which the most convincing functional candidates are dnajc7, hsp70b, nkiras2, cdk12, phb, fkbp10, ddx5, cygb1, enpp7, pdhx and acly. Conclusions This study provides valuable insight into the genetic architecture of acute hyperthermia resistance in juvenile rainbow trout. We show that the selection potential for this trait is substantial and selection for this trait should not be too detrimental to improvement of other traits of interest. Identified functional candidate genes provide new knowledge on the physiological mechanisms involved in acute hyperthermia resistance, such as protein chaperoning, oxidative stress response, homeostasis maintenance and cell survival. |
