• A review of the biology and genetics of sea lice (2006, background): “Kolstad et al. (2005) found that the genetic correlation between the numbers of L. salmonis recorded in a challenge test and during a natural infestation was very high (r(g)¼ 0.88) and that the potential for improving resistance to sea lice in Atlantic salmon by selective breeding is high.”
• Genetic co-variation between resistance against both Caligus rogercresseyi and Piscirickettsia salmonis, and body weight in Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) (2014, methodology): “The heritability for SRS estimated previously by Yáñez et al. (2013) using both the same trait definition and dataset corresponds exactly to the estimate obtained in the present study using a multi-trait approach (both h = 0.”
