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