Breeding for a changing climate: how genetics is building thermal resilience in salmonids

Originally published in the May issue of Fish Farmer (pp. 64–65), this article explores how selective breeding is being used to improve thermal resilience in salmonids. Rethinking climate risk in aquaculture When aquaculture producers talk about climate-driven risk, they rarely mean temperature alone. Heat triggers a cascade of stressors: lower oxygen, reduced feeding, and elevated […]
