Our latest paper from the AquaIMPACT project on cost efficient genomic selection for disease resistance in rainbow trout is featured in the roslin institute latest news! It was a great project with positive outcomes for the implementation of GS in #aquaculture 🐟

AquaIMPACT output from Clémence Fraslin The Roslin Institute @LukeFinlandInt: Cost-efficient analysis helps breed disease-resistant fish Genetic technique makes breeding healthy animals more accessible to small and medium-scale fish farming producers. ed.ac.uk/roslin/news-ev…

AquaIMPACT and #ArctAqua EU-projects presented how to generate more accurate breeding by modelling the mode of inheritance of disease traits and by combining pedigree and genomic data. #FBRT meeting for global aquaculture breeding industry and research organisations.


Another 'Room full of people' photo. This time from AQUA-FAANG industry day in which AquaIMPACT presented a way out of black box genomic selection. #genomicevaluation #functionalannotation #pubquiz2ndprice #etc



This week is quite exciting for AQUA-FAANG ! Today our coordinator Sigbjorn Lien & communication lead Çağla Kaya, DVM, PhD joined the Aquaculture Advisory Council meeting in Brussels to present the AQUA-FAANG & our sister project AquaIMPACT results to its members. Tomorrow we are heading to EP 🇪🇺


AQUA-FAANG & AquaIMPACT joined MEP Nils Torvalds for a breakfast meeting, highlighting the crucial role of breeding & genomics research in fostering a competitive, sustainable, and eco-friendly European aquaculture sector. #Aquaculturebreeding #SustainableAquaculture #H2020


MEP Nils Torvalds hosted a breakfast event to discuss with AquaIMPACT and AQUA-FAANG about more sustainable, resilient and self-sufficient #aquaculture, more precise #breeding, #genomics and fish #health and #welfare. #EU #SustainableAquaculture Antti Kause


Broodstock nutritional programming success depends on the genetic background in sea bream! 🐟 Selected individuals progeny precludes, with methylation signatures, the over-expression of genes that might be counterproductive in a changing environment 🧬 bmcgenomics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Great to hear #aquaculture projects feature at the #Food2030EU event including FutureEUAqua 🐟 AquaIMPACT NextGenProteins considering alternative proteins, minimising impacts, circularity & resource efficiency. #Aquatic foods are an integral part of #FoodSystems ♻️🐟🐚🦐🦪🌱🌊💪
