Species

Current structure and state of art for important RTD challenges for the aquaculture breeding industries of the six main finfish species in Europe. 

Foto
Atlantic salmon
  • North & West Europe
  • 40 years of modern breeding
  • High sophistication
  • Large or highly specialised companies


Main breeding traits: 
  • Growth 
  • Deformations
  • Fillet color
  • Disease resistance
Pedigree tracing by separating families

Important R&D challenges: 
  • Enhance production: diseases, FE, adaption to novel diets
  • Enhance breeding: sequencing, avoidance of sib testing
  • High need for genomics for next level of breeding

Gilthead seabream
  • South Europe
  • 15years of modern breeding
  • Moderate-high sophistication
  • Large companies and SMEs


Main breeding traits: 
  • Growth 
  • Shape
  • Lipid deposition
Pedigree tracing by genotyping

Important R&D challenges:
  • Enhance production: FE, fillet%, diseases
  • Enhance breeding: non-lethal ways of improving FE and fillet%, markers for disease
  • Need for genomics for next level of breeding for disease


Foto
Rainbow trout
  • North & West Europe
  • 30 years of modern breeding
  • High sophistication
  • Large companies and SMEs

Main breeding traits: 
  • Growth 
  • Maturity age
  • Carcass yield
  • Deformation
  • Fillet color
Pedigree tracing by separating families or genotyping

Important R&D challenges:
  • Enhance production: processing yields, FE, diseases, adaption to novel diets
  • Enhance breeding: non-lethal ways of improving feed efficiency and fillet%, SNP chip
  • High need for genomics for next level of breeding

Foto
Turbot
  • South & West Europe
  • 20 years of modern breeding
  • High sophistication
  • Large companies and SMEs


Main breeding traits: 
  • Growth 
  • Shape
Pedigree tracing by separating families or genotyping

Important R&D challenges:
  • Enhance production: fillet yield, diseases, adaptation to novel diets
  • Enhance breeding: non-lethal ways of improving fillet yield, inbreeding control, SNP chip
  • Moderate-high need for genomics for next level of breeding


Foto
European seabass
  • South & West Europe
  • 20 years of modern breeding
  • Moderate sophistication
  • SMEs

Main breeding traits: 
  • Growth 
  • Shape
  • Sex ratio
Pedigree tracing by genotyping

Important R&D challenges:
  • Enhance production: diseases, FE, fillet%
  • Enhance breeding: non-lethal ways of improving FE and fillet%, markers for disease
  • Need for genomics for next level of breeding for disease

Foto
Common carp
  • East Europe
  • 0 years of modern breeding
  • low sophistication
  • SMEs and governmental institutes 

Main breeding traits: 
  • Scales
Pedigree tracing by genotyping possible

Important R&D challenges:
  • Enhance production: growth, winter survival, fillet yield, diseases
  • Enhance breeding: construct efficient programs, inbreeding controls
  • Low need for genomics for next level of breeding
