Yes you are right. I am working on a descriptor for genetic modes of inheritance that will be posted when finished. Co-dominance is improperly used, the phenotype is identical in the heterozygous and homozygous salmons (non super and super respectively). This makes the trait dominant, the animal only need one allele in its genotype to be represented.
