(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      Disease and parasitism cause major welfare, environmental and economic concerns for global aquaculture. In this review, we examine the status and potential of technologies that exploit genetic variation in host resistance ...

      We describe an emerging initiative - the ‘Functional Annotation of All Salmonid Genomes’ (FAASG), which will leverage the extensive trait diversity that has evolved since a whole genome duplication event in the salmonid ...
    • Potential of genome editing to improve aquaculture breeding and production 

      Gratacap, Remi L.; Wargelius, Anna; Edvardsen, Rolf; Houston, Ross D. (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Aquaculture is an increasingly important component of global food security, and there is major potential for genetic improvement to contribute to sustainable production. The high fecundity and external fertilisation of ...
