The objectives of AQUAGENOME are:
(i) to coordinate the ongoing and future national and international research projects in the field of genomics in fish and shellfish European aquaculture and support diffusion of genomic approaches within research laboratories
(ii) to enhance the transfer of information and knowledge towards the aquaculture industry.
In order to reach these objectives, the aims of this project will be:
To inventory existing genomic resources and identify and evaluate new bioinformatic resources, genomic information and tools that are vital for the development of European aquaculture.
To identify specific research domains in which genomic approaches should be developed in order to support the European aquaculture industry.
To support exchanges of scientists and genomic resources between members of the AQUAGENOME Associated Partner Network created.
To determine the required actions to apply genomic tools and knowledge in an effective and sustainable manner in aquaculture, by interacting with producers and stakeholders.
