Full text not available from this repository. (Request a copy)Abstract
Aquaculture is the driving force behind research into salmon genomics. To date, applications of genomics within salmon farming have been directed mainly at increasing yields and/or reducing costs within the production cycle, while future genomic manipulations are intended to improve aquaculture processes and address some of the current concerns regarding salmon farming. Research focuses on understanding the salmon genome as well as a range of potential genomic and/or chromosomal manipulations; transgenic research includes work on both the fish to be farmed and on potential sources of fish feed. Research goals include the development of enhanced phenotypes suitable for both farm conditions and market preferences; increased growth rates; improved feed conversion efficiencies and tolerance of alternative (plant-based) feeds; and enhanced disease resistance.
