In this episode of The Aquaculture Podcast Show, we look at how genetic technologies are changing the way fish and shrimp farmers manage disease. From breeding stocks that are naturally more resistant to balancing growth with resilience, we explore how selective breeding and genomic tools are shaping a more sustainable future. Discover the latest strategies for healthier aquaculture populations and fewer losses. Tune in now on your favorite platform!

Inspired by the 2023 article titled "Applying genetic technologies to combat infectious diseases in aquaculture" by Robinson, Nicholas A., et al.

"Selective breeding for resistance is not theoretical. It is entirely feasible, supported by heritability values showing clear genetic components in aquaculture species."
