Table 2.

The top five significant SNPs detected in GWAS analysis ranked with respect to level of significance. Ssa = Salmo salar chromsomes; Pos(bp) = Physical position of SNP; A1 & A2 = Minor & major alleles, respectively; MAF = Minor allele frequency; α = Allele substitution effect; SE = Standard error; P = Significance value; $varP$ = Phenotypic variance explained; $varG$(%) = Proportion of genotypic variance explained; $varP$(%) = Proportion of phenotypic variance explained.
