Boosting European aquaculture by advancing selective breeding to the next levels

​
​Within FISHBOOST we work on improving the components of breeding programmes for six fish species produced in Europe, and thereby advance aquaculture to the next level!

​

As global human population is increasing, so is the demand for animal proteins. Fish is one of the main protein sources, but as the amount of fresh fish is captured by fisheries remains stable there's a need for an increased aquaculture production. Controlling and improving this production can be done through development of better and more breeding programmes. There is a huge demand potential for making the European aquaculture sector more efficient, profitable and more sustainable.

Pierrick Haffray, genetic consultant in aquaculture at SYSAAF

​"Major results achieved by FISHBOOST with our participation were the estimation of the resistance to the diseases 
​VNN and pasteurellosis. We know now that progress can be achieved on these traits and will not impair gain on other production traits for pasteurellosis but may decrease genetic gain on growth when selecting for resistance to VNN."
