Results of QTL analysis. a Genome scan for QTL on spot density. The Likelihood Ratio Test (LRT) for QTL is plotted against all genomic positions tested (linkage groups are separated by vertical lines). The average spot density of the offspring is given for the offspring inheriting either allele from the parents contributing the QTL: b Mowi 6, c Mowi 8 and d Figgjo 13. As each parent was crossed with a domesticated (Mowi) and a wild (Figgjo) mate in a half sib family design, the offspring spot density is given in each background (farm/wild) separately. Figgjo 13 was determined by genotyping to be a farm escapee of unknown strain
