Gametes from a total of 85 females and 86 males were used to generate the 131 Atlantic salmon families of farmed, hybrid or wild origin included in this study. Weight measurements of the farmed salmon are approximated. * Wild salmon population reared in freshwater at the Norwegian Gene Bank for Atlantic salmon.
