Genetic Improvements in Aquaculture

Abstract

In the shift from wild harvesting to agricultural production, genetic enhancement plays a crucial role in the development of a product. The initial phase typically involves domestication, followed by further genetic modifications aimed at improving production traits. Aquaculturists, like their terrestrial counterparts, prioritize traits such as rapid growth, increased efficiency, disease resistance, and high quality. Various tools are utilized to achieve these genetic enhancements. This article seeks to assess the present state and obstacles concerning the administration of farmed aquatic genetic resources while offering suggestions for enhancement.
