Perspectives pour la recherche biotechnique en pisciculture

Abstract

Based on the global framework of world fisheries, this paper proposes several priorities in the field of fish culture research. Primary objectives include quality control in the aquaculture environment, pluridisciplinary research analyses on fish nutrition and feeding and bioagressors control, and research supporting initiatives to characterize and implement sustainable aquaculture actions complying with the different sustainability criteria and preserving the positive image of aquatic products. Two topics focusing on the relationships between wild and cultured populations which raise interesting research questions are also proposed: species domestication and inversely, the various impacts from individuals which have either escaped from farms or have been deliberately released. © 2007 John Libbey Eurotext - All rights reserved.
