Biotechnological advances in fish reproduction

About the activity

The development of aquaculture requires the integrated approach of different technological challenges. Between them, control of reproduction of fish is one of the key steps in the process of domestication of the species for cultivation, and is a of the main bottlenecks for the growth and diversification of the sector. On this day we will address how biotechnology can offer solutions for the control of the reproduction of fish species of aquaculture interest thus solving different problems associated with reproductive dysfunctions, protocols of fertilization and quality of gametes.

Neil Duncan

Neil Duncan enjoys working in applied research in controlling fish reproduction and cultivation. Neil holds a bachelor’s degree in Marine Biology and Oceanography from Bangor University and a doctorate in Aquaculture from Stirling University. His main interest is in studies to produce the quality and quantity of heavy eggs needed for a commercial hatchery, ensuring that families are produced with the traits required for an improvement program. In addition, he has worked on improving larval rearing and juvenile growth. Neil has worked in Spain, Mexico and Scotland with a wide range of European and Latin American species.
