Policy brief - Precision breeding for more resilient and green aquaculture in the EU
|
The European Union's aquaculture sector is a source of healthy food, fundamental to food security, and a major contributor to the globally increasing seafood consumption Aquaculture faces formidable challenges in the form of imported seafood products and global disturbances. Concurrently, the industry must address its environmental impacts and animal health and welfare Central to bolstering the sector's resilience has been the application of selective breeding and genomics, pivotal in advancing the sustainability of European aquaculture.

Policy brief - Enhancing Disease Resistence in European Aquaculture through Genomic Research
|
The rapid growth of the aquaculture sector in Europe has brought about concerns related to sustainability, environmental impact, and, most importantly, disease management. Disease outbreaks have significant economic and sustainability implications. Genomic research, particularly through AQUA-FAANG, has paved the way for solutions that can revolutionize disease resistance in aquaculture. This policy brief explores the challenges, solutions, applications, and the path to accessible and affordable implementation of this technology for all breeding companies and species.
