Genetic analysis of the Gemfish south of Australia has been a major focus of work underway in the laboratory for several years.
Details of the project will be discussed in a talk as part of the World Fisheries Congress in Korea in May 2016. The authors of the talk (Jenny Ovenden and Andy Moore) will argue that the project was an excellent example of translating scientific research into the practical needs of fisheries management.
The talk will be presented as part of a special session ‘Genomics for improved fisheries management, aquaculture and conservation: have the promises been fulfilled?’
