Best use of scientific knowledge is required to maintain the fundamental role of seafood in
human nutrition. While it is acknowledged that genomic-based methods allow the collection …

In times of overfishing and climate change, marine resources are extremely vulnerable, and
the vast majority of the world's fish stocks have already collapsed. In this fragile context, the …

Capture fisheries and aquaculture provide a significant amount of high-quality protein to
human beings and thus play an essential role in ending global hunger and malnutrition. The …

The rapid growth in genomic techniques provides the potential to transform how we protect,
manage, and conserve marine life. Further, solutions to boost the resilience of marine …

Aquaculture is the fastest-growing farmed food sector and will soon become the primary
source of fish and shellfish for human diets. In contrast to crop and livestock production …

Life has evolved in the ocean for 3.7 billion years, resulting in a rich 'ocean genome', the
ensemble of genetic material present in all marine biodiversity, including both the physical …

The ocean is hypothesized to be where life on earth originated, and subsequent
evolutionary transitions between marine and terrestrial environments have been key events …

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 …

Exploitation of fish and shellfish stocks by the European Union fishing fleet is managed
under the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP), which aims to ensure that fishing and …

Maintenance of genetic diversity in marine fishes targeted by commercial fishing is a grand
challenge for the future. Most of these species are abundant and therefore important for …
