Welcome
The Atlantic Cod Genomics and Broodstock Development Project (CGP) was an $18.1 million initiative designed to develop a breeding program and fundamental genomics tools to supply the developing Atlantic cod aquaculture industry in Canada with improved broodstock.
Linking industry and research, this project brought together expertise in a wide range of topics, from fish health and physiology, breeding, genomics and societal impacts such as IP and commercialization issues.
The project was conducted from a selection of institutions throughout Atlantic Canada, with collaborations right across the country and into the United States. Key outcomes included over 100,000 genomic markers, a microarray, and quantitative trait loci, related to such things as growth, disease resistance and stress tolerance.
The project was funded in part by the Government of Canada, through Genome Canada/Genome Atlantic. More information about this project and its outcomes can be found on the Genome Atlantic website.
