Nova geração de #tilápias geneticamente resistentes a bactéria letal já é realidade e promete pescado mais seguro. Descrito em Aquaculture, o estudo foi conduzido por grupos do Centro de Aquicultura da @Unesp_Oficial e do @InstitutoPesca. https://t.co/9ZsHHtISlT

📄 Deep Learning Approach for Genetic Selection of Stress Response in the Amazon Fish Colossoma macropomum (https://t.co/1jrn8ExXMX)

This study looks into natural/stress-induced skin color variation in tambaqui, analyzing mechanisms behind countershading🧶

A very cool study developed in the Center of Aquaculture of UNESP (Caunesp) and The Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (@embrapa) in collaboration with @UWMadison

[Baltasar F. Garcia @Baltasar_FGN]

🧬 Estimated heritability for color traits are moderate and low correlated to growth traits suggesting selection for countershading can improve stress resilience without impacting growth!

This study opens doors for breeding stress-resilient, visually appealing tambaqui! 🐟💡🧶

@FraslinClemence Thank you guys for receiving and teaching Marcelo! Plenty of work to do here, so we will keep up the collaboration! @robertmuk @FraslinClemence

🚨 New pre-print! We report a major boost in Nile tilapia resistance to franciselosis disease—achieved in just one round of genetic selection! Thanks to @VitoAntonioMas1, @marcelossf01, and team. Read more: https://t.co/sZxtHwak1q

Last week, after months of hard work and lots of conversations, @ScienceMagazine launched a new series—spearheaded by @NewsfromScience's @elizculotta, @scchak and me—about how researchers are #decolonizing science.

An experiment with tambaqui fish demonstrated that their resistance to acanthocephalan intestinal parasites has a genetic basis. The research was conducted by UNESP in partnership with Nilton Lins University and the University of Chile.

New linkage map for L. vannamei using 50k SNP array out now! We found SNPs and genes linked to sex determination. A step closer to monosex populations? Thanks @JoseYanezL, @VitoAntonioMas1 and @GaboRCampos for the collaboration! https://t.co/qSdYoXhVIn
