On the back of the genomics revolution significant investment has been made towards the
identification of candidate growth genes in livestock that can be used to speed up genetic …

The production of most farmed molluscs, including mussels, oysters, scallops, abalone, and
clams, is heavily dependent on natural seed from the plankton. Closing the lifecycle of …

Many aquaculture hatchery practices are detrimental to the long-term viability of restocking
and selective improvement programs. Small effective broodstock population sizes …

In parentage assignment by exclusion, using multiple and very polymorphic loci, genoty**
errors are a major cause of non‐assignment. Using stochastic simulations, we tested the …

In this study, for the first time on gilthead seabream (Sparus auratus L.), genetic parameters
for growth and carcass traits were estimated at 509 days (harvest size), and for growth only …

The aim of this study was to estimate genetic parameters and heterosis for weight, length
and survival traits for common carp measured at different time periods at commercial farm …

Short‐term storage of fish sperm is a simple and cost‐effective process in fishery research
from basic to applied perspectives. It has been used to elucidate and evaluate gamete …

Cyprinids are the most important group of farmed fish globally in terms of production volume,
with common carp (Cyprinus carpio) being one of the most valuable species of the group …

253 full-sib families from 33 males and 23 females of European seabass were produced in a
partly factorial mating design. All fish were reared in the same tank during 14 months, then …

In recent years, the land area under agriculture has declined as also has the rate of growth
in agricultural productivity while the demand for food continues to escalate. The world …
