2 Prawn breeding programs
ID EBV Shrimp 1 -2 Shrimp 2 1 Shrimp 3 3 Shrimp 4 -5 Shrimp 5 6 Shrimp 6 Shrimp 7 2 Shrimp 8 Shrimp 9 Shrimp 10 4 Phenotype GENES Heritability Environment Poor data on trait variability Only understand genetic basis of growth, few other traits understood Genotype by environment????? Lack of genomic resources Closed genetic lines with genetic and phenotypic records Disease, stress tolerance – how to measure and breed How to do a breeding program at an industrial-scale (phenotyping, expertise, protocols)?

3 Aims of ARC-ITRH

4 Outcomes of ARC-ITRH Draft genome for the black tiger prawn
Thousands of genetic markers to do cool stuff with Industrial scale phenotyping Industrial-scale challenge tests for viruses, stress Tie all together to do genomic selection Capacity building – towards other industries Industry readiness to perform advanced selective breeding Genome – 1st for a shrimp – Australia should own the genome for its major culture species (done mean physically own
