SPECIES
The primary reason for this travel was to attend the Fish Breeders' Round Table in Stavanger, Norway. This is an international forum, where knowledge and experience is exchanged between fish breeding researchers and those involved in applied genetic improvement work on a commercial basis.
The forum included over 30 presentations on genomics, genetic models and commercial application of fish breeding. Following the meeting the author visited research institutions and Atlantic Salmon breeding installations.
