Evaluating the use of lower-density SNP panels to accurately predict breeding values for four species shows potential for broader application.
Health & Welfare
In eight genetic improvement programs in seven different countries, growth improvements have been constant in all programs, with annual improvement rates between 5 and 12 percent. Improvements in survival rates are less predictable and less consistent.
Innovation & Investment
The black tiger shrimp is the second most important, farmed shrimp species globally. Because of its importance in Australia, the new ARC Hub for Advanced Prawn Breeding will develop a scalable, advanced breeding program for the species as well as bring its genetic knowledge to a level comparable to that of livestock.
