Genome editing can contribute to sustainable aquaculture production in terms of disease resistance and sterility to prevent interbreeding with wild stocks.
Health & Welfare
Due to high fecundity and external fertilization, most aquaculture species are amenable to genetic improvement technologies, including genome editing.
Health & Welfare
This study, involving more than 10 years of research on selective breeding, has shown that selective breeding can create considerable phenotypic divergence in rainbow trout lines when targeting a specific pathogen.
Health & Welfare
Prophylactic use of antibiotics in animal production is being banned or restricted by many countries. A potential substitute for antibiotic growth promoters in aquafeeds is organic acids, which are the focus of much research and commercial interest.
Health & Welfare
A new breeding program for genetic improvement of Indian white shrimp (Fenneropenaeus indicus) in Egypt was established at a private shrimp farm at AL Dibah Triangle Zone (DTZ) to develop disease-resistant shrimp for the country’s aquaculture industry.
Health & Welfare
Technical literature varies in reporting the ability of vitamins to improve fish survival and resistance to disease following infection with pathogens.
Health & Welfare
The aquaculture industry has developed management strategies to strengthen shrimp disease resistance, like diagnostic systems and biosecurity.
Health & Welfare
Shrimp farmers must consider seedstock quality, husbandry procedures and healthy nutrition as the primary tools to control disease.
