Survival, growth and sexual maturation in Atlantic salmon exposed to infectious pancreatic necrosis: a multi-variate mixture model approach

Table 5 Correlations between estimated breeding values ± their standard errors for growth, obtained with four models

Model¹	1	2	3	4
2	0.97 ± 0.002
3	0.89 ± 0.004	0.94 ± 0.003
4	0.83 ± 0.005	0.86 ± 0.004	0.91 ± 0.003
5	0.82 ± 0.005	0.84 ± 0.004	0.88 ± 0.004	0.99 ± 0.001

¹ Models: (2) Bivariate model including growth and liability of being healthy; (3) Extension of (2) where sexual maturation is included as a third trait; (4) An extension of (3) to also include a survival-model with genetic effects; (5) An extension of (4) to include a genetic effect of growth in runts as well as in healthy animals.
