  Description
    
FP1 will develop new knowledge and technologies to help aquaculture industries in the developing world use domesticated, high-health genotypes reared on sustainable aquafeeds in production systems that have low carbon footprints with limited adverse environmental impacts. We focus on (1) developing and applying genetic technologies, (2) developing cost-effective alternatives to wild-harvest fishmeal in aquafeeds, (3) improving disease detection and control, and (4) optimizing production system efficiency without impairing the health and genetic performance of aquaculture species or the health of adjacent or proximate ecosystems. We also address the need for equity in sustainable intensification to ensure that poor farmers, their families and communities receive direct nutritional and economic benefits from increased aquaculture production. The focus is on tilapia and carp, the world’s top two farmed fish species groups, which are in high demand in the developing world and will continue to play dominant roles in future aquaculture production (World Bank 2013; OECD/FAO 2016).
