Farming of cod is of particular significance because of consumer interest
and the potential market profit. However, as with any new “farming”
endeavour, parasites pose serious risks to successful fish cultivation. The
current study deals with the intracellular microsporidian parasite, Loma
morhua, that is limiting the production potential of Atlantic cod, a new
species to aquaculture. This study focuses on the identification of specific
genetic lines (“families”) of cod that show natural resistance to this
parasite. The evaluation of family regarding resistance to L. morhua
infection will be used as a criterion for the selection of cod broodstock.
Furthermore, important taxonomic considerations regarding classification of
Loma spp. in gadoids will be highlighted.
