Aquaculture
and Genetic Conservation
The
purpose of this website is to point out some of the important, new papers which have been published in journals that
are not primarily devoted to aquaculture or fisheries.
The papers give useful insights
on the management of broodstock, breeding, stock and strain improvement, disease susceptibility, and genetic
conservation. However, the
journals can be
hard to find in many parts of the world.
The "Hard-to-find
papers" button at the top of the page will take you to
the titles of some of the publications we have come across recently,
with opinions on why they might deserve notice.
Your comments would be most welcome. mailto:GCL@genecomp.com

Genetic Computation Limited (GCL) is a
private consulting company in aquaculture and fisheries genetics and
conservation. Follow the link
to Roger Doyle for more
information.
GCL's procedures for evaluating growth
of prawns, shrimp, tilapia, salmon, trout and other fish on-farm are quick and have high statistical power where facilities
are limited. The emphasis is selective breeding procedures that don't
interfere with production on commercial farms and small research stations.
GCL also consults on genetic
biodiversity and contamination issues, gene flow and genetic population
boundaries, breeder's rights, and the economic value of indigenous
aquacultural genetic resources
