Genomic prediction possible with low-density marker panels
Evaluating the use of lower-density SNP panels to accurately predict breeding values for four species shows potential for broader application.

Experiences in shrimp genetic improvement in seven countries
In eight genetic improvement programs in seven different countries, growth improvements have been constant in all programs, with annual improvement rates between 5 and 12 percent. Improvements in survival rates are less predictable and less consistent.

Unleashing the genetic potential of black tiger shrimp
The black tiger shrimp is the second most important, farmed shrimp species globally. Because of its importance in Australia, the new ARC Hub for Advanced Prawn Breeding will develop a scalable, advanced breeding program for the species as well as bring its genetic knowledge to a level comparable to that of livestock.
