Perspectives from Agriculture: Advances in livestock breeding-Implications for aquaculture genetics
Type: Journal Article
In this paper we present livestock breeding developments that could be taken into consideration in the genetic improvement of farmed aquaculture species, especially in freshwater fish. Firstly, the current breeding objective ...
Lessons from the breeding program on common carp in Hungary
Type: Conference Paper
Common carp is one of the most important cultured freshwater fish species in the world. Its production in freshwater areas is the second largest in Europe after rainbow trout. Common carp production in Europe was 146,845 ...
Restocking and stock enhancement of coastal fisheries: Potential, problems and progress
Type: Journal Article
The demand for fish is expected to rise substantially by 2020. Although aquaculture must provide much of the additional fish, it remains to be seen whether restored or enhanced capture fisheries can also help fill the ...
Potential applications of reproductive and molecular genetic technologies in the selective breeding of aquaculture species
Type: Conference Paper
The use of reproductive and genetic technologies can increase the efficiency of selective breeding programs for aquaculture species. Four technologies are considered, namely: marker-assisted selection, DNA fingerprinting, ...
Maintaining the "public good" nature of improved fish strains: dissemination of knowledge and materials
Type: Conference Paper
Many sources of information that discuss currents problems of food security point to the importance of farmed fish as an ideal food source that can be grown by poor farmers, (Asian Development Bank 2004). Furthermore, the ...
Importance and implementation of simple and advance selective breeding programs for aquaculture species in developing countries
Type: Conference Paper
Aquaculture is predicted to play a major and ever increasing role in meeting human needs for protein. In terrestrial animal and plant species genetic improvement programs have made a substantial contribution to productivity ...
Policies on release of improved fish strains in China
Type: Conference Paper
Since 1991, the certification, release and maintenance of new species for aquaculture have become part of the national policy in China. During the past 15 years, this policy has been conducted and improved and has begun ...
