Abstract
Acute and chronic high-temperature stress negatively impact olive flounder (Paralichthys olivaceus) aquaculture, weakening immune function and increasing mortality. This study conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) to identify genetic markers linked to thermal stress resilience. A total of 384 fish were exposed to acute stress (29 °C for 30 min and 1 h) and chronic stress (19.8–30 °C for 16 days). Genomic DNA from 329 deceased and 55 surviving fish was genotyped using a 70 K SNP chip, yielding 57,638 SNPs from 376 fish after quality filtering. GWAS identified 34 SNPs associated with both acute and chronic thermal stress on chromosomes 4, 10, 11, 15, 18, 19, and 23, surpassing the suggestive (p < 1 × 10−4) and Bonferroni-corrected (p < 8.6 × 10−7) thresholds. Genes myhc, nlrc5, hydin, and gfod1 were linked to thermal stress. These findings may support marker-assisted selection for thermal stress resilience strains, promoting sustainable aquaculture.
期刊介绍:
Genomics is a forum for describing the development of genome-scale technologies and their application to all areas of biological investigation.
As a journal that has evolved with the field that carries its name, Genomics focuses on the development and application of cutting-edge methods, addressing fundamental questions with potential interest to a wide audience. Our aim is to publish the highest quality research and to provide authors with rapid, fair and accurate review and publication of manuscripts falling within our scope.
