numerous DNA markers in some aquaculture species, genetic improvement of important …

Billions of salmonids are produced annually by artificial reproduction for harvest and
conservation. Morphologically, behaviourally and physiologically these fish differ from wild …

Novel trophic interactions between invasive and native species potentially increase levels of
interspecific competition in the receiving environment. However, theory on the trophic …

Zhikong scallop (Chlamys farreri) is an economically important bivalve species and a major
contributor to aquaculture in China as it is nutrient-dense and has a large adductor muscle …

Stress and elevated plasma cortisol in salmonids have been linked with pathological
remodeling of the heart and deterioration of fitness and welfare. However, these …

The once abundant delta smelt Hypomesus transpacificus is now on the verge of extinction.
At the UC Davis Fish Conservation and Culture Laboratory, a refuge population has been …

Domestication can be defined as the artificial selection in animals to achieve morphological,
physiological, and developmental conformity to human needs, with the aim of improving …

This study evaluates the genetic diversity of different meagre broodstocks sampled in
Greece. A multiplex of twelve microsatellite markers was used to genotype 946 fish from …

Human-directed domestication of terrestrial animals traditionally requires thousands of years
for breeding. The most prominent behavioral features of domesticated animals include …

The identification of the genetic basis of domestication in fish species is of timely importance
