The impact of breeding on productivity of Atlantic Salmon and Rainbow Trout farming
Presentation by: Ana Leonardo (49081) and Francisca Felix (50287) Master students in Aquaculture and Fisheries, Algarve University
Obstacles
Advantages
•control artificial reproduction;
•control mating;
•Difficulties of hatching and feeding larvae and fry.
•High fertility;
•External fertilization;
•Low expenses for broodstock maintenance;
•More efficient breeding programmes design.
Examples of phenotypic traits of economic importance
Food conversion efficiency
Growth rate
Age at sexual maturity
Survival/disease resistance
Body quality
Fecundity
Inbreeding
“It is as important to prevent production losses due to inbreeding, as it is to increase production from genetic enhancement.”(Dunham et al., 2001)
Final concerns
New informations of breeding consequences will be provided as generations of Salmo salar and Oncorynchus mykiss appear;
Efforts to avoid the escape of farmed fish must be made;
New alternatives must arrise, since many exploration sites still use milt-mixed fertilizations.
