Development of strategies for integrated breeding, genetics and applied genomics for genetic improvement of aquatic organisms

- Two decades of research have resulted in a large quantity of genomics information.
- Application of genomics in aquaculture genetic enhancement should be accelerated.
- QTL mapping or genome-wide association studies should lead genetic improvement in aquaculture.
- Next-generation sequencing is revolutionizing biological research.
- Knock-in and knockout approaches have great potential for applying genomics.
