ARC Research Hub for Supercharging Tropical Aquaculture Through Genetic Solutions

该项目将提供遗传知识，以促进澳大利亚北部五种热带水产养殖物种（梭鱼、珍珠牡蛎、对虾、石斑鱼和海藻）的世界领先和高产育种计划。它将把尖端的遗传和基因组方法纳入创新水产养殖企业，并将对抗病的遗传基础以及生产环境如何与细菌微生物组、病原体和水质相互作用导致疾病建立新的认识。其结果将导致提高生产力、国际竞争力和降低疾病风险，并大大扩大澳大利亚在水产养殖部门的能力。

This project will deliver the genetic knowledge to instigate world-leading and highly productive breeding programs for five tropical aquaculture species (barramundi, pearl oyster, prawn, grouper and marine algae) in northern Australia. It will integrate cutting edge genetic and genomic approaches into innovative aquaculture enterprises and will establish a novel understanding of the genetic basis of disease resistance and how the production environment interfaces with the bacterial microbiome, pathogens and water quality to cause disease. Outcomes will lead to increased productivity, international competitiveness, and lowered disease risk and significantly expand Australia's capacity in the aquaculture sector.
