Table 5 The QTL effect on growth traits and associated absolute T values in segregating individual parents for the significant QTL at chr. 20

Sire-based analysis	Traits	QTL effect estimate (SE)^a (g)	Absolute T value
J9L2M0088	Harvest Weight	−580 (170)	3.43
	Fillet Weight	−430 (110)	4.01
	Gutted Weight	−650 (150)	4.41
	Deheaded Weight	−580 (130)	4.41
	Head Weight	−80 (20)	3.61
	Total Waste Weight	−140 (50)	2.98
J9L2M0091	Harvest Weight	−360 (160)	2.19
J9L3M3080	Total Waste Weight	170 (70)	2.29
Dam-based analysis
J9L2F0144	Gutted Weight	570 (170)	3.36
	Deheaded Weight	480 (150)	3.28
	Total Waste Weight	140 (50)	2.53
J9L2F1295	Gutted Weight	590 (250)	2.35
	Deheaded Weight	480 (200)	2.35
	Body Waste Weight	200 (60)	3.56
	Total Waste Weight	270 (80)	3.52
J9L2F0695	Deheaded Weight	−940 (400)	2.32

^aThe sign + or – is arbitrary when compared across families but indicates the direction of the allelic effect within families (e.g. an allele decreasing harvest weight in sire J9L2M0088 also decreased fillet, gutted, deheaded, head and total waste weight)
