Selective breeding and genetic advancements have revolutionized aquatic species production, ensuring higher yields, disease resistance, and improved adaptability to environmental changes. The integration of biotechnology has further accelerated progress, enabling precise genetic modifications and molecular breeding techniques. Breeding, Genetics, and Biotechnology play a crucial role in enhancing aquaculture sustainability by optimizing broodstock performance and reducing dependency on wild populations. The application of genome editing tools like CRISPR and marker-assisted selection has paved the way for strain improvement with desirable traits such as faster growth and enhanced nutritional value. Moreover, advancements in reproductive biotechnology, including cryopreservation and hormonal manipulation, have expanded possibilities for controlled breeding programs. As global demand for seafood continues to rise, leveraging these technologies becomes imperative for ensuring food security while maintaining ecological balance. Exploring these innovations provides valuable insights into how genetic advancements can shape the future of aquaculture, balancing productivity with conservation efforts.
