A method of biomonitoring marine water is provided, as are probes and kits. The method comprises: extracting messenger Ribonucleic Acid (mRNA) fromspecies; preparing cDNA from the mRNA; hybridizing a plurality of probes with the cDNA to provide a set of hybridized cDNA, the probes consisting of at least 20 consecutive nucleotides of at least 50 sequences of SEQ ID NO: 1-122; and quantifying an abundance of the set of hybridized cDNA, thereby biomonitoring marine water.

Methods and probes for monitoring marine water

The present application describes SNPs useful for the genetic analysis of Atlantic cod. Also described are QTLs and SNP marker associations for commercially important traits such as weight, nodavirus resistance, resistance to stress and for determining geographic origin. The application also provides methods and uses of the SNPs for identifying family members and/or estimating relatedness, marker assisted selection, breeding programs, population management, identification of geographic origin and trait-association studies. A SNP-based linkage map for Atlantic cod is also provided.
