HAVBRUK2-Stort program for havbruksforskning

Transcriptome sequencing of Atlantic salmon pituitary to identify novel genes involved in pubertal activation.

One of the major challenges in the aquaculture industry is precocious maturation. Fish that mature too early will invest energy in developing gonads instead of growing in size, and at the same time, the filet quality deteriorates. In order to overcome these challenges there is a need for an incre...
