Aquaculture GENETIC IMPROVEMENT PROGRAMS FOR AQUACULTURE SPECIES IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES: PROSPECTS AND CHALLENGES
Aquaculture in developing countries is largely based on unimproved fish strains. There is ample evidence indicating the potential of genetic improvement programs and a range of selection methods may be used. Examples of the application of mass, cohort, within family, and combined between-within family are given. The methods are discussed in terms of their effectiveness and suitability. It is co...
متن کاملBeef Cattle Breeding Programmes : Progress and Prospects
INTRODUCTION Beef breeding programmes have developed significantly in the last 24 years since the 1 WCGALP. Breeding programs as defined here include the definition of breeding objectives, recording and genetic evaluation programs to develop selection criteria and developments in selection and mating technology to optimize genetic progress for the objective. Available today are tools for the im...
متن کاملIsraeli Aquaculture Genetic Improvement Programs
The history and status of aquaculture genetics in Israel were reviewed a few years ago (Hulata 1995). The current report reviews trends and progress of the second half of the 1990s, and provides the vision and perspective for the next couple of years. Selective breeding work is currently focused mainly on tilapias (Oreochromis sp.) and gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata). Edible and ornamental co...
متن کاملPoultry Breeding: Progress and Prospects for Genetic
Estimates of genetic gains and present performance of layers and broilers were reviewed Current and developing technologies pertinent to the breeding of layers and broilers were discussed with some of their assumptions and limitations. Under present methods, contemporary theory and selection technologies are critiqued Under developing technologies, selection for adaptation to production environ...
متن کاملGenomics in aquaculture to better understand species biology and accelerate genetic progress
Citation: Yáñez JM, Newman S and Houston RD (2015) Genomics in aquaculture to better understand species biology and accelerate genetic progress. The production of fish and shellfish through aquaculture is an increasingly important source of high-quality animal protein, with a worldwide production of 66.6 million tons in 2012 (FAO, 2014). Considering the continuously growing global human populat...
