In the spotlight:
Dr. Wendy Rauw, Researcher at INIA, Spain 'Today, only a small part of the global aquaculture production is based on genetically improved stocks. In our research we expect to develop a method to record between-family variation in feed efficiency in fish that can be used to genetically improve feed efficiency in fish species. This may improve both the economic efficiency of production and sustainability of aquaculture.' Read more about Wendy's research on feed efficiency! 
FISHBOOST at EU Open Doors In celebration of the anniversary of the European Union, each year on Europe Day, EU institutions open their doors to the public. This year at this European Open Doors day on 28 May, FISHBOOST was invited by DG Research & DG Mare to have a stand in the Commision’s Berlaymont building in Brussels and show what FISHBOOST is all about. By showing DNA and quizzing the audience, people could learn about selective breeding in aquaculture and the differences between wild and farmed fish. Several hundred visitors stopped by, making this event a success for FISHBOOST! Read more (photo credits: European Union, 2016) |
