The ‘Genomics in Aquaculture’ symposium will review the state-of-the-art of genomics research in aquaculture, its industrial applications and future perspectives, thus contributing to bridge the gap between fundamental genomics research and the needs of the aquaculture industry. The symposium will have the participation of several invited experts in aquaculture genomics, as well as attendants from feed companies and government representatives.
