The primary impediment to achieving rapid genetic progress in aquaculture is an inability to accurately and rapidly identify high-performance animals for selection as parents in animal breeding programs. This project aims to develop an innovative genomic selection breeding system for the silver-lipped pearl oyster to overcome current limitations associated with traditional animal improvement methods. The use of genomic selection will not only transform the Australian pearl oyster industry, but it will also showcase the potential of genomic selection in aquaculture globally. Furthermore, knowledge gained from this project can also be applied to a variety of other Australian aquaculture species to accelerate the uptake of this technology.

在水产养殖中实现快速遗传进步的主要障碍是无法准确和快速地识别高性能动物，以选择作为动物育种计划的亲本。该项目旨在开发一种创新的银唇珠母贝基因组选择育种系统，以克服目前与传统动物改良方法相关的局限性。基因组选择的使用不仅将改变澳大利亚珍珠牡蛎产业，而且还将展示基因组选择在全球水产养殖中的潜力。此外，从该项目中获得的知识也可以应用于澳大利亚其他各种水产养殖物种，以加快这一技术的吸收。
