Farmed salmon is British Columbia's most significant agricultural export and returns over $600 M to the provincial economy each year. Domestic markets for salmon are growing as the nutritional and health value of salmon are increasingly recognized, and exceptional commercial opportunities lie in the rapidly expanding US and Asian markets. To take advantage of these international markets will require increased production at a decreased cost. A broodstock development program is an essential component of an aquaculture company's strategy if it is to remain competitive in the international marketplace by producing fish with the most desirable performance traits in an economically and efficient manner. Broodstock development programs benefit from the application of genomic technologies. The objective of this project is to integrate recent advances in genomic technologies in particular a 16K Atlantic salmon SNP array, into Mainstream Canada's existing Atlantic salmon

养殖鲑鱼是不列颠哥伦比亚省最重要的农业出口产品，每年为该省经济带来超过 6 亿美元的回报。随着三文鱼的营养和健康价值日益得到认可，国内三文鱼市场不断增长，快速扩张的美国和亚洲市场蕴藏着巨大的商机。为了利用这些国际市场，需要以降低成本的方式增加产量。如果水产养殖公司要以经济高效的方式生产具有最理想性能特征的鱼类，以保持在国际市场上的竞争力，亲鱼开发计划是水产养殖公司战略的重要组成部分。亲鱼开发计划受益于基因组技术的应用。该项目的目标是将基因组技术的最新进展（特别是 16K 大西洋鲑鱼 SNP 阵列）整合到加拿大主流现有的大西洋鲑鱼中
