Developing Methods for Maintaining Genetic Diversity in Novel Aquaculture Species: The Case of Seriola lalandi

ABSTRACT:

Simple Summary

Limiting inbreeding rates in farmed populations is crucial to ensuring long-term commercial viability. This task is particularly challenging in the aquaculture of mass communal spawning species, such as the yellowtail kingfish (Seriola lalandi). This reproductive strategy often results in a skewed parental genetic contribution while introducing additional complexities in parentage determination (c.f., controlled matings). To overcome these issues, we developed a marker panel based on genotyping-by-sequencing spanning 300 SNPs for parentage determination. Panel performance was satisfactory, which advocates for its employment to increase the long-term sustainability of this aquaculture resource when implementing breeding programs.
