Genetic Improvement in Aquaculture

Genetic Improvement in aquaculture involves selectively breeding aquatic species, like fish and shellfish, to enhance desirable traits such as faster growth, better disease resistance, and improved environmental tolerance. By carefully choosing parent stock based on genetic information, scientists can develop populations that thrive better and produce higher yields. This process uses advanced techniques like genetic testing and selective breeding to make aquaculture more efficient, sustainable, and productive, ensuring a reliable food supply while reducing environmental impacts.
