DNA vaccines encoding the viral G glycoprotein show the most successful protection capability against fish rhabdoviruses, write Beatriz Novoa et al, Instituto de Investigaciones Marinas (IIM), Spain.
Nicholas Robinson et al, Nofima, Norway, genotype full-sibling families using an Illumina iSelect array containing SNPs found in transcribed genes, in order to produce a genetic linkage map of the L. rohita genome and simultaneously scan the genome of challeng…
Sand polychaetes (Perinereis nuntia) have been used as a live feed to boost reproductive maturation before mating in hatchery farms in Thailand. However, no study has evaluated the effect of polychaetes on performance and physiology of the sperm of the domesti…
Two genetically improved tilapia strains (GIFT and Akosombo) have been created with Oreochromis niloticus (Nile tilapia), which is native to Africa. In particular, GIFT has been shown to be significantly superior to local African tilapia strains in terms of gr…
The complete genetic code was made public at an international conference in Vancouver on 10 June. Fully sequencing the Atlantic salmon genome is a landmark achievement and provides a wellspring of new opportunities for scientists and the aquaculture industry w…
