Incorporating Gene Editing into Aquaculture

Megan Moran (James Cook University)

Incorporating targeted changes into the genome of aquaculture species that are known to be associated with valuable commercial traits, such as quality and yield, can have profound impacts on total aquaculture production and revenue. Megan will be discussing different gene editing technologies that may be incorporated into aquaculture production in the future.

Prevention is better than cure - An aquaculture perspective

Varsha Balu (James Cook University)

We are no stranger to the phrase "prevention is better than cure". Varsha's research showcases a proactive approach to disease management rather than a reactive one, using novel early pathogen detection tools as well as host health assessment tools, that are rapid, cheap, and farmer friendly.
