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.
Health & Welfare
The continued application of genome research to aquaculture will provide unprecedented accuracy for genetic selection of performance and production traits.
Health & Welfare
Advances in genomics assist aquaculture science by deepening the understanding of adaptation, physiology and quantitative genetics.
Health & Welfare
Advances in aquaculture research include the integration of genomics – the study of genes and their functions – into projects pursuing increased production efficiency.
