REPROSEL FP7 PROJECT - REPRODUCTION PROTOCOLS AND MOLECULAR TOOLS FOR MASS SPAWNING AND COMMUNAL REARING BASED SELECTIVE BREEDING SCHEMES APPLIED TO MULTIPLE-SPAWNING MARINE FISH

摘要

In the European seabass and the gilthead seabream, the implementation of selective breeding programs is hindered by the missing control of artificial fertilisation. The difficulty stands in synchronising a large number of females to get a sufficient quantity of good quality eggs and allow suitable mating designs for genetic improvement. In REPROSEL we follow a multidisciplinary approach to propose selective breeding scheme based on mass spawning:
