The development of tools for tracing and evaluating the genetic impact of fish from aquaculture: “AquaTrace” (AQUATRACE)
Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2016,
The genetic changes associated with domestication in aquaculture pose an increasing threat to the integrity of native fish gene pools. Consequently, there is a bourgeoning need for the development of molecular tools to assess and monitor the genetic impact of escaped or released farmed fish. In addition, exploration of basic links between genetic differences among farmed and wild fish and differen ...

REPROduction protocols and molecular tools for mass spawning and communal rearing based SELective breeding schemes applied to multiple-spawning marine fish (REPROSEL)
Start date: Oct 15, 2010, End date: Oct 14, 2012,
"Selective breeding schemes are widely recognized as efficient means to improve aquaculture production. Compared to the individual selection, family-based selection allows a better control of inbreeding and represents the only alternative to improve disease resistance and slaughter traits. However, fish farmers are reluctant to invest in such programs due to the high requirements for space, labour ...
