2008/723 The Development of a genetic management and improvement strategy for temperate marine finfish (Southern Bluefin Tuna, Yellowtail Kingfish and Mulloway)



By Wayne Knibb

 

In order to achieve greater commercial efficiency and profitability, there was a need to evaluate a range of genetic options for possible future management and improvement of Yellowtail Kingfish (YTK), Mulloway and Southern Bluefin Tuna. In this study, a review of the resources available for the implementation of breeding strategies in the three species, and an analysis of the breeding systems used for  YTK and Mulloway was conducted. As a part of this review, options for the adaptation of these species to enable controlled breeding to enhance genetic management was investigated.
