Genetics and Breeding of Pompano: A new species for Australian Aquaculture

The project will develop and deploy genomic tools to drive breeding and management of Pompano, a new fish for Australian aquaculture. Genetics will be used to understand the diversity of wild populations, and investigate the impact of group spawning in captive populations. The project will also trial advanced phenotyping methodologies for improved welfare.
