Description
The Third International Symposium on Genetics in Aquaculture was held in Trondheim, Norway in June, 1988 with 143 participants. The Institute of Aquaculture Research and the International Association for Genetics in Aquaculture were responsible for arranging the symposium.
The symposium had three sessions with the topics Biotechnology, Breeding plans and New fish species. In the Biotechnology session, gene technology, and immunological aspects of disease resistance were reviewed, and it has been concluded that much knowledge has been accumulated in these fields in recent years and that large inputs in research will be necessary in coming years. With regard to breeding plans, the theoretical basis and the application of breeding schemes are discussed. Good possibilities for obtaining genetic change through breeding programmes have been demonstrated. For the future development of the aquaculture industry it is essential to have domesticated and productive organisms. Problems in farming marine fish species like halibut, cod and wolf-fish are also discussed.
