Genetic Computation

Genetic Computation Limited (GCL) is a private consulting company in aquaculture and fisheries genetics and conservation. The emphasis is selective breeding procedures that minimize inbreeding and loss of genetic diversity, while achieving rapid genetic gain in production traits. Genetic Computation Ltd. has worked with, and is continuing to work w... ith, some of the world's largest aquaculture companies as well as with much smaller companies to design low-cost, low inbreeding, genetic improvement systems. GCL also consults on genetic biodiversity and genetic contamination issues, breeder's rights and the economic value of indigenous aquacultural genetic resources. The original purpose of this website was educational, to point out some important, new papers which have been published in journals that are not primarily devoted to aquaculture or fisheries. The papers give useful insights on the management of broodstock, breeding, stock and strain improvement, disease susceptibility, and genetic conservation. The journals can be hard to find in many parts of the world. The "Hard-to-find papers" button at the top of the page will take you to the titles of the publications I came across, with my notes on why they deserve notice. The most recent posting to the Hard-to-find papers page was in late 2009.Read More
