Eggs by natural spawning were obtained from wild-caught broodstock that were conditioned to captivity for more than one year in a 75 m3 RAS in Chile.
Its performance data in 33 Chilean salmon centers is showing highly competitive growth and a very low impact of SRS on total mortality.
The genetic map opens up new possibilities for the production of sole, a species of high economic interest in Europe.
The company reported improved performance from its BCWD-enhanced resistant eggs in trout commercial farms and will develop a custom SNP chip for genotyping its broodstock.
Results could help future studies improve the breeding of economically important cichlid species such as tilapia.
The company signed a contract with Artec Aqua as a turnkey contractor for the expansion of Profunda, a land-based facility for the production of salmon broodstock in Norway.
Researchers aim to implement a genetic improvement program and achieve a growth increase of at least 25% in RAS systems.
This was the first time in the country that John’s snapper seeds have been produced and researchers achieved continuous seed production.
The breeding program will cover Nile tilapia for FirstWave’s operating companies, Yalelo Zambia and Yalelo Uganda.
The companies signed a five-year agreement to deliver 9.5 million ova to the hatchery facilities that Nordic Aqua Farms will build in Ningbo, China.
A study found that seabream selected for their high growth have greater resistance to an intestinal parasite and a more flexible microbiota, which allows them to better adapt to changes in the diet.
Applying the Nobel Prize-awarded CRISPR method, genetically sterile broodstock can develop eggs that all inherit their parents' genetic sterility.
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.
