Advanced Tools and Research Strategies for Parasite Control in European farmed fish (ParaFishControl)

Start date: Apr 1, 2015, End date: Mar 31, 2020,

European aquaculture production provides direct employment to 80,000 people and a 3-billion € annual turnover. Parasites cause severe disease outbreaks and high economic losses in finfish aquaculture. The overarching goal of ParaFishControl is to increase the sustainability and competitiveness of European Aquaculture by improving understanding of fish-parasite interactions and by developing innova ...

Improving European aquaculture by advancing selective breeding to the next level for the six main finfish species (FISHBOOST)

Start date: Feb 1, 2014, End date: Jan 31, 2019,

Only about 10% of today’s global aquaculture production use genetically improved stocks. In Europe, some breeding programmes consist of only the basic components of a breeding scheme. Hence, there is large potential to increase efficiency and profit by domestication and genetic improvement of farmed finfish. The main challenge of FISHBOOST is to realise this potential into economic and social acce ...
