lang=EN-GB>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, <i>Loma morhua,</i> 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 <i>L. morhua</i> infection will be used as a criterion for the
selection of cod broodstock. Furthermore, </span><span lang=EN-GB>important
taxonomic considerations regarding classification of <i>Loma </i>spp. in
gadoids will be highlighted.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
