摘要

THE increasing sophistication of the global market for salmon continues to place changing and exacting demands on the breed development end of our industry says Dr Alan Tinch, Breeding Programme Director at Landcatch Natural Selection Ltd (LNS), Alloa. "Today's consumers know exactly what they want in terms of both product quality and production system," he said. "As a result, breed selection and breeding programmes must be equipped to deliver high-performance fish which have also been raised within the greatest possible health and welfare standards. That means knowing everything you possibly can about the breeding base of your business while also understanding how to convert such development potential into reality.
