Herramientas en ingeniería genética usadas para mejorar el crecimiento y supervivencia en el cultivo de peces

Abstract

In aquaculture usually, to optimize performance genetics are used to increase resistance to diseases and growth. This research is about the issue of genetic engineering tools used to improve production in farmed fish, because this food source supplies protein to the human population, so they must be more efficient as the population grows. To get more food, there are a wide variety of technologies available, such as transgenesis, genetic selection, and the use of recombinant vaccines. These technologies will help aquaculture become the largest source of animal protein since fish have greater potential than land-based animal crops in response to genetic improvement programs. The existing readiness of genome sequencing of the main crop species helps to obtain breeding programs in different areas of production. Finally, genetic tools contribute to producing more with fewer resources and supplements than are usually used in conventional crops.
