Remi Gratacap- Understanding genetics to breed more disease resistant animals.

"Aquaculture production needs to increase by 40 percent by 2030 to meet global demands for fish”. I will focus on how I use fish genetics to reduce the impact of disease in fish farms. I will touch on the genetics I use in my research and how I use genome editing to quicken up the rate of genetic improvement.
