The Ecological Society of America has evaluated the ecological effects current and potential uses field‐released genetically engineered organisms (GEOs), as described in this Position Paper. Some GEOs could play a positive role sustainable agriculture, forestry, aquaculture, bioremediation, environmental management, both developed developing countries. However, deliberate or inadvertent releases into environment have negative under certain circumstances. Possible risks include: (1) creating...
Abstract Recognizing the imperative to evaluate species recovery and conservation impact, in 2012 International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) called development a “Green List Species” (now IUCN Green Status Species). A draft framework assessing species’ progress toward recovery, published 2018, proposed 2 separate but interlinked components: standardized method (i.e., measurement against benchmarks viability, functionality, preimpact distribution) determine current status (herein...
Abstract Within the rich diversity of South American freshwater fish, Colossoma macropomum (Characiformes: Serrasalmidae), known as tambaqui, cachama or blackfin pacu, can reach 30 kg, is a traditional product in regional fish markets and has drawn attention farmers since 1930s. Considerable progress achieved different fields aquaculture science contributed to growth tambaqui production. Tambaqui proven suitable for both monoculture polyculture systems, extensive intensive production systems...
ABSTRACT A theoretical analysis of the potential benefits marker-assisted selection (MAS) candidate bulls prior to entry into a young sire progeny testing programme was carried out. It is assumed that quantitative trait loci (QTL) affecting milk production have been mapped with respect known genetic markers, and MAS based on evaluation elite sires in order identify marker alleles coupling favourable or unfavourable QTL alleles. Candidate bulls, descendants will then be selected, conventional...
Summary Spatial population structure plays an important role in species persistence, evolution and conservation. Benthic stream fishes are diverse frequently imperilled, yet the determinants spatial scaling of their understudied. We investigated range‐wide genetic Roanoke logperch ( Percina rex ), endangered, benthic fish eastern United States. Fish were sampled from 35 sites analysed at 11 microsatellite DNA loci. Clustering models used to sort individuals into genetically cohesive groups...
Two genetically improved tilapia strains (GIFT and Akosombo) have been created with Oreochromis niloticus (Nile tilapia), which is native to Africa. In particular, GIFT has shown be significantly superior local African in terms of growth rate. While development economists see the potential for food security poverty reduction Africa from culture these new tilapia, conservationists are wary ecological genetic impacts on receiving ecosystems stocks tilapia. This study reviews history...
Transfer of novel genes into fishes introduces a number contentious issues public policy debate among fisheries scientists and regulatory authorities. In the context technical status development transgenic strains fishes, we discuss anticipated ecological impacts releasing such natural environments. The major determinant will be phenotypic effect inserted genes. Three conceptual classes changes are anticipated, including in physiological rates, behavior, or tolerance physical factors....
Several methods for the visualization of genetic polymorphisms at nucleic acid level have been developed. Such promise to be exceedingly numerous, and may form basis a number scientific practical applications in fisheries science. An expanded markers should increase statistical power marker-based studies population genetics, example, improving sensitivity biological stock assessments assessing impact stocking programs upon natural populations. Utilization such genomic could contribute rapid...
Abstract Effective genetic management of the ~700 aquatic species cultured globally should be addressed for aquaculture to make a significant contribution towards meeting UN's Sustainable Development Goals. This article aims identify current status and challenges relating farmed resources (AqGR) recommendations its improvement. The lack information on many is critical constraint there need characterize these develop systems tools monitor types used their wild counterparts. Risk assessment...
Abstract Animal biotechnologies have the potential to improve sustainability and security of our global food systems. Government regulatory authorities are responsible for ensuring safety their citizens consume, whether it is produced via conventional breeding methods or biotechnologies. While some countries implemented animal biotechnology oversight policies, many yet develop theirs. Historically, approvals were required before products could enter marketplace, high cost approval process...
Although the greatest global diversity of freshwater mussels (~300 species) resides in United States, superfamily Unionoidea is also most imperiled taxon animals nation. Thirty-five species are considered extinct, 70 listed as endangered or threatened, and approximately 100 more conservation concern. To prevent additional losses, biologists have developed methods for propagating juvenile release into wild to restore augment populations. Since 1997, mussel propagation facilities States...
