AI Article Synopsis
- Infectious hematopoietic necrosis (IHN) is a serious disease affecting salmonid fish, particularly rainbow trout, caused by the IHN virus, leading to high mortality and financial losses in aquaculture.
- A study conducted by Clear Springs Foods, Inc. found ten moderate-effect quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with resistance to IHNV, which collectively accounted for up to 42% of the genetic variance.
- The research indicated that genomic selection methods, particularly weighted single-step GBLUP (wssGBLUP), significantly outperformed traditional pedigree-based predictions (PBLUP) in estimating breeding values for IHNV resistance, suggesting a shift towards whole genome-enabled selection for better outcomes in trout breeding.
Article Abstract
Background: Infectious hematopoietic necrosis (IHN) is a disease of salmonid fish that is caused by the IHN virus (IHNV). Under intensive aquaculture conditions, IHNV can cause significant mortality and economic losses. Currently, there is no proven and cost-effective method for IHNV control. Clear Springs Foods, Inc. has been applying selective breeding to improve genetic resistance to IHNV in their rainbow trout breeding program. The goals of this study were to elucidate the genetic architecture of IHNV resistance in this commercial population by performing genome-wide association studies (GWAS) with multiple regression single-step methods and to assess if genomic selection can improve the accuracy of genetic merit predictions over conventional pedigree-based best linear unbiased prediction (PBLUP) using cross-validation analysis.
Results: Ten moderate-effect quantitative trait loci (QTL) associated with resistance to IHNV that jointly explained up to 42% of the additive genetic variance were detected in our GWAS. Only three of the 10 QTL were detected by both single-step Bayesian multiple regression (ssBMR) and weighted single-step GBLUP (wssGBLUP) methods. The accuracy of breeding value predictions with wssGBLUP (0.33-0.39) was substantially better than with PBLUP (0.13-0.24).
Conclusions: Our comprehensive genome-wide scan for QTL revealed that genetic resistance to IHNV is controlled by the oligogenic inheritance of up to 10 moderate-effect QTL and many small-effect loci in this commercial rainbow trout breeding population. Taken together, our results suggest that whole genome-enabled selection models will be more effective than the conventional pedigree-based method for breeding value estimation or the marker-assisted selection approach for improving the genetic resistance of rainbow trout to IHNV in this population.

Sous vide, a cooking method that involves vacuum-sealed fish at low temperatures, yields a uniquely tender, easily flaked texture. Previous research on sous-vide tenderization has focused on thermal protein denaturation. On the other hand, the contribution of proteases, activated at low temperatures in fish meat, has been suggested.

The use of fish rest raw material for the production of fish protein hydrolysates (FPH) through enzymatic hydrolysis has received significant interest in recent decades. Peptides derived from fish proteins are known for their enhanced bioactivity which is mainly influenced by their molecular weight. Studies have shown that novel technologies, such as high-pressure processing (HPP), can effectively modify protein structures leading to increased biological activity.

Rainbow trout () is a promising cultivable fish species with significant potential for expansion. As a cold-water fish belonging to the Salmonidae family, it requires an optimal temperature range of 10-15°C for optimal growth. This study explores a method for producing sterile rainbow trout with maximum survival rates by using heat shock treatment to enhance growth characteristics and improve aquaculture practices.
