Breeding salmon for growth or resistance to sea lice in cold waters may have little effect if the offspring grow up in warmer waters.

A molecular marker for sex determination in sturgeon was discovered within the international project STURGEoNOMICS, a breakthrough for caviar-producing aquaculture.  

The main focus of the new strain, SagaChile, will be improved growth with late maturation, QTL IPN and genomic selection for resistance against SRS, Caligus and BKD.

Researchers found opposing effects of temperature on sex determination of European seabass at different stages of development, showing the complexity of the effects of temperature.

The company will globally introduce Vitalis PRIMA in the coming months, which incorporates the latest technology from ground-breaking dietary research plus commercial insights.

The company is completing the construction of a new, state-of-the-art tilapia nursery to support its existing farming operations and future domestic growth plans.

A joint research between the Rosario Islands Oceanarium - CEINER, CENIACUA and Benchmark Genetics Colombia closed the cycle of goliath grouper (Epinephelus itajara).

The company signed its fourth major contract in the country with Piscícola Botero to supply tilapia breeders.

Spring Genetics signed a new agreement with Proceal to supply broodstock for the next three years, which is the third contract signed by the company in the country.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic logistic issues, the company is transferring its YY technology to countries for local production.

A new study from NMBU Veterinary College and the University of Oslo suggests that a slightly longer production time in the freshwater phase leads to faster growth and fresher fish later in the sea.

Three Southern California hatcheries have depopulated more than three million trout in an effort to eliminate the bacterial infection.

Australian government approved $7 million for the construction of the nursery and the Midwest Aquaculture Development Zone to foster investment in Western Australian aquaculture.

The last time an attempt was made to breed European plaice was in 1946 and now Norwegian scientists have resumed trials to assess the suitability of this species for commercial aquaculture production.

Researchers were able to validate and provide a reliable basic protocol based on twelve abiotic and biotic factors for pikeperch larval rearing in RAS units.

The Australian-based farm acquired a fully operational and staffed Murray cod hatchery and will become the world’s largest producer.

The project, that aims to decrease the use of antibiotics in the Chilean salmon industry, strengthen fish resistance to SRS through genetic selection.

Genomar acquired the genetics and distribution assets of AquaAmérica and AquaPorto that will join the portfolio of major tilapia brands, including GenoMar Supreme and Aquabel.

The Benchmark company shipped 400,000 eggs to land-based and cage farms in China and it is the second ova delivery after the COVID-19 pandemic hit Europe in March.

Scottish researchers will use genotype imputation to develop a lower cost method that could make the process feasible for more breeders and producers.
