Carlos Iván Lobos Blumenfeldt, that has previously held positions in Hendrix Genetics, Aquagen Chile, Ventisqueros among others, was appointed as the new business unit director for Fish Vet Group in Chile.
The genetic map opens up new possibilities for the production of sole, a species of high economic interest in Europe.
Its performance data in 33 Chilean salmon centers is showing highly competitive growth and a very low impact of SRS on total mortality.
StofnFiskur will continue to be the brand used for the Atlantic salmon breeding program and strain operated by the Icelandic company.
The company hopes to introduce CP Kong, an SPF WSSV tolerant, robust shrimp strain, into Latin America if it proves successful in China.
The company, the first global salmon producer to invest in land-based salmon farming, will produce post-smolt and grow fish all the way to harvest size in a new land-based facility in southern Norway.
Japanese researchers obtained mutant rotifers with wider lorica size and higher growth rates that could potentially provide a stable supply of larger rotifers at low cost for aquaculture.
Results could help future studies improve the breeding of economically important cichlid species such as tilapia.
The company reported improved performance from its BCWD-enhanced resistant eggs in trout commercial farms and will develop a custom SNP chip for genotyping its broodstock.
The goal is to produce biomass for aquafeed cheaper than terrestrial crops.
The project aims to test a new tool that could enable farmers to make the right improvements before beginning the audit process, saving time and money.
The new partnership aims to genetically select more resistant families of Atlantic salmon to BKD.
A group of researchers developed a new app, named MyFishCheck, that categorizes fish welfare from critical, poor, acceptable and good.
The initiative will range from enhanced capacity in species identification, breeding and administration of the regulatory framework to a system for assessing and certifying private hatcheries.
The company signed a contract with Artec Aqua as a turnkey contractor for the expansion of Profunda, a land-based facility for the production of salmon broodstock in Norway.
The study found hazardous levels of lead and cadmium in all studies fish and shrimp farms across the ten highest aquaculture producing states.
Researchers aim to implement a genetic improvement program and achieve a growth increase of at least 25% in RAS systems.
The company applied for a $58.6 million salmon hatchery on Digby Neck, Nova Scotia.
This was the first time in the country that John’s snapper seeds have been produced and researchers achieved continuous seed production.
