Aquaculture is the fastest growing sector in agriculture. Substantial genetic gains have been
achieved in a few cultured species using conventional selective breeding approaches …

The number of times an organism reproduces (ie, its mode of parity) is a fundamental life‐
history character, and evolutionary and ecological models that compare the relative …

Rapid adaptation to novel environments may drive changes in genomic regions through
natural selection. Such changes may be population-specific or, alternatively, may involve …

Understanding life history traits is an important first step in formulating effective conservation
and management strategies. The use of artificial propagation and supplementation as such …

Over the past 20 years, the introduction of new molecular techniques has given a new
impetus to genetic and genomic studies of fishes. The main traits selected in the aquaculture …

The clam Meretrix meretrix is a member of widely cultured, commercially important clams. A
marker–trait association analysis was performed using expressed sequence tag (EST) …

Animal models provide useful tools for exploring the genetic basis of morphological,
physiological and behavioral phenotypes. Cave-adapted species are particularly powerful …

Reproductive strategies comprise the timing and frequency of reproductive events and the
number of offspring per reproductive event, depending on factors such as climate conditions …

The production of capture fisheries is decreasing and genetic resources are reducing in
aquaculture species due to overexploitation of natural resources. Marker-assisted selection …

Patagonia offers several examples of local adaptation in the exotic rainbow trout
Oncorhynchus mykiss. Specifically, the Valcheta Stream, characterized by hot spring …
