A method of selection based on genetic markers that are associated with beneficial traits. This approach accelerates breeding programs for traits like growth and disease resistance in aquaculture species.

Techniques to detect specific sequences in DNA or RNA to diagnose diseases. In aquaculture, these methods are crucial for early detection of pathogens, improving disease management and biosecurity.

The application of computer technology to the management and analysis of biological data. In aquaculture, it aids in genomic sequencing, identifying genetic markers for breeding, and monitoring biodiversity.

The use of molecular markers to select for individuals who carry desired traits. In aquaculture, this enhances the efficiency of breeding programs for disease resistance and quality traits.

The process of preserving cells, tissues, or embryos by freezing at very low temperatures. It is utilized in aquaculture for the long-term storage of valuable genetic material like fish sperm and eggs.

Fish that have had a foreign gene deliberately inserted into their genome. These can grow faster, resist diseases better, or tolerate extreme environmental conditions, benefitting aquaculture productivity.

The joining together of DNA molecules from different species that are inserted into a host organism to produce new genetic combinations. In aquaculture, it's used to produce vaccines and disease-resistant fish strains.

A plate-based assay technique for detecting and quantifying substances such as peptides, proteins, antibodies, and hormones. In aquaculture, ELISA is used for the detection of pathogens and measurement of immune responses.

Large-scale culturing systems designed to grow cells or tissues in controlled conditions. Used in aquaculture for the production of vaccines, bioactive compounds, and artificial seed production.

A process by which individuals with desirable traits are bred to produce offspring with similar desirable characteristics. Used in aquaculture to enhance growth rates, disease resistance, and meat quality.

The process using natural or cultured microorganisms to purify water. In recirculating aquaculture systems, biofilters convert toxic ammonia to nitrate, greatly improving water quality for fish farming.

The use of living organisms, like bacteria, algae, or plants, to remove or neutralize contaminants in a polluted area. In aquaculture, it helps to mitigate the impact of waste products on the environment.

Having more than two homologous sets of chromosomes. Polyploidy is induced in aquaculture to create sterile triploids which can grow larger and are often used for production because they do not reproduce.

Live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit to the host. Used in aquaculture to improve gut health, enhance immune response, and reduce pathogen load.
