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 …

Whole‐genome resequencing (WGR) is a powerful method for addressing fundamental
evolutionary biology questions that have not been fully resolved using traditional methods …

Aquaculture is the fastest growing food production sector and is rapidly becoming the
primary source of seafood for human diets. Selective breeding programs are enabling …

Environmental DNA (eDNA) extracted from water samples has recently shown potential as a
valuable source of population genetic information for aquatic macroorganisms. This …

Over the past decades, Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar, Salmonidae) has emerged as a model
system for sexual maturation research, owing to the high diversity of life history strategies …

The human population is growing, and as a result we need to produce more food whilst
reducing the impact of farming on the environment. Selective breeding and genomic …

Functional annotation of genomes is a prerequisite for contemporary basic and applied
genomic research, yet farmed animal genomics is deficient in such annotation. To address …

We report the first application of CRISPR‐Cas technology to single species detection from
environmental DNA (eDNA). Organisms shed and excrete DNA into their environment such …

Infectious disease is a major constraint for all species produced via aquaculture. The
majority of farmed fish and shellfish production is based on stocks with limited or no …

Genomic selection increases the rate of genetic gain in breeding programs, which results in
significant cumulative improvements in commercially important traits such as disease …
