About the Project
The Australian Seafood Cooperative Research Centre is developing a theme business plan to support a coordinated, cooperative approach to aquaculture genetics research in the CRC. One of the needs identified in the development of this plan is the provision of tools and technologies to facilitate the planning and implementation of selective breeding programs. This is already a target for the oyster industry and other aquaculture production sectors.
A common requirement for selective breeding programs is good software management tools to keep track of individuals and important information relative to them (e.g. pedigree, treatment, trait, make information, estimated breeding values) and to streamline genetic analysis and decision making.
Project Objectives
1. To assist the Seafood CRC in the development of the Breeding for Profit theme business plan by reviewing available software tools that can be used to support selective breeding programs in the Seafood CRC.
