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, fry and fingerling production, 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.

Coverage is limited to around 40 journals that are scanned routinely as part of GCL's consulting activities. The emphasis is research that seems relevant to aquaculture and fisheries (especially tilapia, salmon and shrimp) and has a genetic flavor, but appears in very non-WAS, off-brand journals.

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 provides services for the identification, evaluation and improvement of aquaculture broodstock strains, fry and fingerlings. The emphasis is selective breeding procedures that don't interfere with production on commercial farms and small research stations.

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.

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
