Using genetics to support sustainable aquaculture: Results from 20 years of breeding rainbow trout

The world's oceans can no longer sustain the ever-rising demand for fish. Aquaculture offers an alternative approach—if production is sustainable and high quality. INRAE, the Aqualande group and its selective breeding company Les Sources de l'Avance, and the French Poultry and Aquaculture Breeders Technical Center (SYSAAF) reviewed data from 20 years of a rainbow trout breeding program conducted by the company. They compared the growth and nutrition needs of trout from this program with those of an unselected trout population.
