Abstract
AbstractLarge yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) is the largest cultured marine fish in China, although its economic benefits are significant, its growth cycle is long and it takes 2 years to market. Identification of genomic variations and genes affecting the growth ofL. croceais of great significance for breeding fast-growing strains by molecular means. We utilized whole genome resequencing to identify a highly effective GWAS locus on chromosome 6 of the genome, and identified some candidate genes that affect growth. This study provides a theoretical basis for analyzing the genetic mechanism of growth traits ofL. croceaand cultivating fast-growing varieties.
