Abstract
The influences of additive, non-additive and maternal effects on early survival (uneyed embryo survival, eyed embryo survival, alevin survival and overall survival to first feeding) were quantified in lake trout Salvelinus namaycush using a 7 × 7 full-factorial breeding design. Maternal effects followed by non-additive genetic effects explained around one third of the phenotypic variance of the survival traits. Although the amount of additive genetic effects were low (
