AquaLeap Final Meeting Webinar

Aqualeap Consortium

The AquaLeap project webinar will be held on 7th March 2023 via TEAMS

AquaLeap is a recently completed UK research project that focussed on advancing genetic improvement, breeding and management of four species of importance to UK and European aquaculture; Atlantic salmon, lumpfish, European lobster and European flat oyster. This webinar will share the project’s key findings and explore how genomics technologies can be applied to tackle challenges faced in the aquaculture sector. AquaLeap was funded by the UK Aquaculture Initiative (a joint initiative between BBSRC &amp; NERC) with additional support from a range of partnering organizations. The webinar will be streamed online via TEAMS for those registered.Please book your ticket to obtain the TEAMS link to access the webinar. We would be delighted if you could join us!
