Five factors (zones within a site, sites within a water body, depth, years and surveyors) that potentially generate classification uncertainty were examined in detail.
These traits were interval between calving and first insemination, interval between first and last insemination, number of inseminations, udder diseases, other diseases, height, body depth, chest width, dairy character, top line, and body condition score.
Additional marker-trait combinations were identified in the across-family tests, including effects on chromosomes 3, 4, and 9 for protein percentage, body depth, and canonical conformation traits, respectively.
Pore body depth of etching (μm).
Fluvial Iron River brook trout had an intermediate body depth and mouth position relative to Assinica and Siskiwit.
Warp three explains 13.22% of variation and describes variation in the shape of the head, body depth, and caudal peduncle depth.
The genetic correlation between body length and body depth was positive while it was negative between these two traits and body width, and body width had a high favorable genetic correlation with LMA [26].
The first relative warp explains 23.58% of the total variation and describes the length of the head, placement of the dorsal and pelvic fin, body depth at the midsection, and caudal peduncle region.
The allele T of SNP INRA0052808 located in BMP2 was associated with long body length, shallow body depth and narrow body width, and additionally it was associated with upright front/rear leg pastern postures and smaller LMA (Table 1).
The most notable differences among strains were differences in dorso-ventral body depth and the shape of the caudal peduncle, with some differences in the anterior-posterior placement of the dorsal and ventral fins.
Body length was based on measuring both total length (TL = tip of snout to the tip of tail) and snout to vent length (SVL = tip of the snout to the posterior margin of the cloaca), and girth was estimated by measuring the body depth (BD) and body width (BW) immediately anterior to the forelimbs.
