Abstract
Aquaculture is a critical component of global food security, providing over half of the world’s seafood supply, with projections for significant expansion in the coming decades to meet the increasing demands for animal protein production associated with human population growth. Selective breeding has offered substantial opportunities to enhance production efficiency and help tackle barriers such as diseases via cumulative and permanent genetic improvement of farmed strains. With the recent advance in high throughput genome sequencing technologies, coupled with better computational approaches, a large amount of “omics” data have been generated to understand the factors underlying biology and genetic architecture of complex traits and hence, can accelerate genetic gain in aquaculture species. This Research Topic attempted to present and discuss innovative approaches and recent advances in the field of genetics and “omics” to provide solutions to enhance aquaculture breeding. The book included 30 articles (three review and 27 research articles), which are grouped in 15 different themes or topics (Table 1). Main findings and their implications in the context of genetic improvement programs for aquaculture species are summarised as follows:
