Abstract
In an inbreeding experiment with rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri), a special type of deformed fry was found. The deformity appeared after one generation of fullsib mating in one of nine fullsib groups. The deformed fry were observed soon after the resorption of the yolk sac and showed different forms of body curvatures. The deformity was lethal. Significant differences between inbred groups and the noninbred control groups indicate that the deformity is at least partly heritable.
