Abstract

AbstractColumnaris disease is an emerging disease affecting farmed rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) globally. In aquaculture breeding, genomic selection has been increasingly used to improve traits that are difficult to measure on candidate fish (such as disease resistance traits). Following a natural outbreak of columnaris disease, 3,054 exposed fish and their 81 parents (33 dams and 48 sires) were genotyped with the 57K SNP Axiom™ trout genotyping array. Genetic parameters of host resistance (measured as a binary survival trait) were estimated, a genome wide association study was performed, and the accuracy of pedigree-based and genomic prediction was estimated. After quality controls, 2,874 challenged fish (1,403 dead fish and 1,471 alive fish) and 78 parents genotyped for 27,907 SNPs remained. Pedigree based heritability was estimated to be 0.18 and 0.35 on the observed and underlying scale, respectively. Genomic heritability was estimated to be 0.21 and 0.43 on the observed and underlying scale, respectively. A quantitative trait loci (QTL) was detected on chromosome Omy3, significant at the genome-wide level, along with several suggestive QTLs on two other chromosomes. The additive effect on mortality proportion of the peak SNP from Omy3 was estimated to be 0.11 (0.018; se). Pedigree-based prediction accuracy was 0.59, and the use of genomic evaluation increased the prediction accuracy by at least 13.6%. Using the second iteration of a weighted genomic-based evaluation increased the prediction accuracy by 18.6% compared to the pedigree-based model. These results suggest that resistance is a suitable target trait for genetic improvement by selective breeding, and genomic selection may be a useful approach to speed up this process.
