Sex identification in rainbow trout using genomic information and machine learning.

ABSTRACT: Sex identification in farmed fish is important for the management of fish stocks and breeding programs, but identification based on visual characteristics is typically difficult or impossible in juvenile or premature fish. The amount of genomic data obtained from farmed fish is rapidly growing with the implementation of genomic selection in aquaculture. In comparison to mammals and birds, ray-finned fishes exhibit a greater diversity of sex determination systems, with an absence of conserved genomic regions. A group of genomic markers located on a standard genotyping array has been reported to potentially be linked with sex determination in rainbow trout. However, the set of markers suitable for sex identification may vary between populations. Sex identification from genomic data is usuall
