Preventing and mitigating farmed bivalve diseases (VIVALDI)
Start date: Mar 1, 2016, End date: Feb 29, 2020,
The overarching goal of VIVALDI is to increase the sustainability and competitiveness of the European shellfish industry by improving the understanding of bivalve diseases and by developing innovative solutions and tools for the prevention, control and mitigation of the major pathogens affecting the main European farmed shellfish species: Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas), mussels (Mytilus edulis ...

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 ...

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 ...
