Revolutionising Aquaculture Through Genetics: The role of genetics in Aquaculture
Aquaculture has been evolving fast. Producers continue to be under growing pressure to deliver more – more efficiency, more resilience, more sustainability and often with fewer resources and tighter financial constraints. So how does genetics help? Genetics isn’t just about growing better animals. It’s about building aquaculture systems that are robust, adaptable, long-term, and commercially…
Read MoreSelecting for Success
In the rapidly evolving aquaculture industry, where seafood demand continues to rise, efficiency and sustainability are more critical than ever. Improved genetic improvement strategies and breeding program management have been a driving force behind global aquaculture growth. Thanks to selective breeding, aquaculture species can now grow faster, with greater disease resistance, require fewer resources, and,…
Read MoreAquaculture is entering a new era: The rise of genetic innovation for enhanced productivity and sustainability
As the fastest-growing food production sector globally, aquaculture now supplies over half of the fish consumed worldwide—a feat made possible, in part, by remarkable advancements in genotyping, genomics, and advanced breeding. These innovations are at the core of breeding programs that balance environmental stewardship with economic growth. Breeding strategies in aquaculture have evolved significantly, utilizing…
Read MoreTools and techniques for advancing the genetics of emerging aquaculture species
Producers working with well-known species benefit from a choice of tools that keep animals thriving and production increasing. In contrast, growers of emerging species often struggle with limited resources and support when starting and expanding their operations. The Fish Site spoke to our breeding experts Carlos Pulgarin, Marcos De Donato, and Alejandro Gutierrez to discuss…
