The approval is part of a project (NRS-TRIPWELL) that tests triploid salmon production in Norway.

The agreement aims to increase the farm productivity with improved genetics for growth and disease resistance, and processing plant with improved fillet yield.

Mowi Scotland reported that the company introduced the first batch of wrasse eggs in its wrasse recirculation unit in Anglesey, Wales.

Scientists found that tilapia resistance to TiLV is heritable and that selective breeding to produce more resistant tilapia strains is likely to be effective.

The restrictions imposed relate to the certification of aquatic animals from Infectious Salmon Disease (ISA)-free compartments and do not relate to all exports.

TOP fry feed provides key nutrients to trout during early life stages showing better performance, higher protein utilization and lower ammonia excretion, leading to improved feed efficiency and better water quality.

This allows us to study all the genes that contribute to traits such as growth, disease resistance and sea lice appetite with much greater precision than before.

The Marine and Freshwater Research Institute in Iceland is attempting to breed sexless farmed salmon. The objective is to prevent farmed salmon from becoming sexually mature and being able to spawn with the naturally occurring local salmon population.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) lifted the import alert allowing AquaBounty to start farming AquAdvantage® Salmon in Indiana facilities.

Mowi has acquired Ocean Matters’ aquaculture facility, a hatchery that currently produces lumpfish, one of the two species that have proven to be an effective cleanerfish.

Benchmark’s Spring Genetics®: First company to be granted with import licence for tilapia genetic material to Colombia

SalmoBreed has announced plans to use state-of-the-art medical technology to enhance data collection from its broodstock families in a project that should benefit the global salmon industry.

Nofima has been working on the national breeding program for cod since 2003. Researchers have improved cod disease management, reduced deformities and mortality rate.

Hendrix Genetics partners with Salmones Aysen to provide genetic and breeding support for their coho salmon strain in Chile.
