Genomic arrangement of salinity tolerance QTLs in salmonids: A comparative analysis of Atlantic salmon (<it>Salmo salar</it>) with Arctic charr (<it>Salvelinus alpinus</it>) and rainbow trout (<it>Oncorhynchus mykiss</it>)

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Quantitative trait locus (QTL) studies show that variation in salinity tolerance in Arctic charr and rainbow trout has a genetic basis, even though both these species have low to moderate salinity tolerance capacities. QTL were obser...
