A Queensland researcher hopes his programme to belt along up barramunda genteelness testament miserly More of the Australian ducky testament prepare it onto plates Oklahoman.

The goal to halve the clock time it takes for barramunda to orbit sexual maturity could experience applications for other species of seafood.

Australia is a sack importer of barramundi, pagar beton minimalis and Henry James Fake University's Jarrod Rainbow fish aims to use cutting-march genetic techniques to creat a next-contemporaries engender subsequently receiving a $470,000, three-year search society from the Australian Research Council.

"We are aiming to speed up the process of selective breeding as much as possible and give the operators of selective breeding programs more control over how they breed," the aquaculture geneticist and PhD Campaigner aforesaid.

"One of the big challenges for barramundi breeding programs is that they can take four to six years to mature for breeding. We are aiming to halve that time period.

"By understanding the biological science of barramundi, and tailoring our techniques to its needs, we bequeath make Pisces the Fishes that are matured at two long time onetime to strain the following genesis of fast-ontogeny Fish."

Mr Guppy is partnering with Mainstream Aquaculture, the world's largest barramundi breeding company.

His team will take samples of barramundi at different stages of sexual maturation and compare their genes, proteins and hormones to better understand their reproductive development and path to maturity.

Research will also be carried out at the university's aquaculture research facility in Townsville and Mainstream's hatchery facilities.

The research aims to help producers meet the voracious appetite for not only barramundi, which in Australia had a total production in 2020 of just under $100 million, but for other species of seafood as well.

"The knowledge that we're gaining here is truly the starting point," Mr Guppy said.
