Abstract Novel genome editing techniques allow for efficient and targeted improvement of aquaculture stock might be a solution to solve challenges related disease environmental impacts. This review has retrieved the latest research on aquacultured finfish species, exploring technological progress scope. Genome most often been used Nile tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus Linnaeus), followed by Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar Linnaeus). More than half studies have focused developing solutions...

In this paper we present a suggestion for sustainability assessment framework using genome editing of salmon as case study. The farming industry is facing several challenges hindering sustainable production. Genome has entered tool that can improve selective breeding and feed ingredients in aquaculture, hence providing solutions such resistance to lice other pathogens, sterility reducing interbreeding with wild, threatened stocks. As goal aquaculture its practices products contribute...

The genome editing technology CRISPR is described as a technological game-changer because of its flexibility and precision, an ethical due to ability engineer traits in living organisms without crossing species, avoiding significant objection genetically modified (GMOs). In salmon farming, applications breeding hold the promise handling environmental fish welfare challenges yet require social acceptance. Adopting empirical bioethics framework, this stakeholder interview study shows that...

Salmon is the most important species in Norwegian aquaculture, and 2019 1,3 million tonnes of farmed salmon were produced along coast. The rapid growth industry comes with several challenges related to environment, economics animal welfare, all hindering a sustainable production. newest proposed solution some these use genome editing. Some examples research initiatives are sterile salmon, disease resistant increased omega-3 In Norway, organisms generated by gene technology regulated Gene...
