Description
Summary:Aquaculture is one of the fastest developing agricultural industries worldwide. One of the most important factors for sustaina- ble aquaculture is the development of high performing culture strains. Genome manipulation offers a powerful method to achieve rapid and directional breeding in fish. We review the history of fish breeding methods based on classical genome ma- nipulation, including polyploidy breeding and nuclear transfer. Then, we discuss the advances and applications of fish direc- tional breeding based on transgenic technology and recently developed genome editing technologies. These methods offer in- creased efficiency, precision and predictability in genetic improvement over traditional methods.
