Description
Summary:In order to fulfill the domestic demand as well as exploitation without breaking the wild-catch limitation, aquaculture productivity needs to be boosted by adopting state-of-art biotechnology solutions. At this stage, the Australian aquaculture industry has invested in scientific research to adopt advanced technologies to understand the obstacles at the scientific level. However, there are still demands for practical solutions that are simple and applicable in on a large scale. In this thesis, I investigated two perspectives to help boost productivity: delivery of DNA and peptides to support physiological functions that are inhibited in captivity, and explore the huge potential of gut microbiota and their relationship with the host phenotype of interest. ...
