Application of genomics tools and resources to selective breeding for improved disease resistance and animal welfare in fish

Disease poses probably the greatest worldwide risk to the success of intensive aquaculture both through its effects on production and animal welfare. An animals resistance to or tolerance of disease can in some instances be improved through selective bree ding or with treatment such as vaccines, ...
