From Fields to Fjords: A Framework for Targeting Resilience by Simulating Longitudinal Growth Traits in Plants and Aquaculture.

Background<br/>Selective breeding in plants and aquaculture has improved production and disease resistance, but gains are inconsistent across farming environments due to genotype-by-environment (GxE) interaction. Genotype reranking reduces selection accuracy and slows genetic progress. In aquaculture, environmental stressors such as extreme<br/>temperature can cause final weight loss and mortality, which is up to 17.7% annually for Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) in Scotland (Figure 1). Climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of heat stress events.
