Canadian cod project could improve performance

摘要

PERFORMANCE gains are likely to be made through selective breeding, says co-project leader, Dr Jane Symonds, of the Atlantic Cod Genomics and Broodstock Development Programme (CGP, www.codgene.ca), being carried out in Atlantic Canada. Dr Jane Symonds, Director of Aquaculture at the Huntsman Marine Science Centre, has told Fish Farmer that families from the three broodstock populations tested so far had moderate-high heritability for juvenile body weight, which she says is extremely encouraging.
