Answer 1

Biotechnology makes it possible to achieve increased growth rate in farmed species, boost the nutritional value of aqua feeds, improve fish health, help restore and protect environment, extend the range of aquatic species and improve the management and conservation of wild stocks.

The four main areas where biotechnologies have been used in aquaculture and fisheries include genetic improvements and control of reproduction; biosecurity and disease control; environmental management and bioremediation; and biodiversity conservation and fisheries management.
