TLDR
The value of genomic information towards securing the future of seafood does not need to be further demonstrated and immediate efforts are needed to remove structural roadblocks and focus on ways that support integration of genomic-informed methods into management and production practices.Abstract:
Best use of scientific knowledge is required to maintain the fundamental role of seafood in human nutrition. While it is acknowledged that genomic-based methods allow the collection of powerful data, their value to inform fisheries management, aquaculture, and biosecurity applications remains underestimated. We review genomic applications of relevance to the sustainable management of seafood resources, illustrate the benefits of, and identify barriers to their integration. We conclude that the value of genomic information towards securing the future of seafood does not need to be further demonstrated. Instead, we need immediate efforts to remove structural roadblocks and focus on ways that support integration of genomic-informed methods into management and production practices. We propose solutions to pave the way forward.read more

TL;DR: The authors review how genomics is being applied to aquaculture species at all stages of the domestication process to optimize selective breeding and how combining genomic selection with biotechnological innovations, such as genome editing and surrogate broodstock technologies, may further expedite genetic improvement in Aquaculture.

Seascape genomics reveals adaptive divergence in a connected and commercially important mollusc, the greenlip abalone (Haliotis laevigata), along a longitudinal environmental gradient
Jonathan Sandoval-Castillo,Nicholas Robinson,Anthony M. Hart,Lachlan W. S. Strain,Luciano B. Beheregaray +4 more
TL;DR: The hypothesis of adaptive divergence due to coastal environmental heterogeneity in a connected metapopulation of a broadcast spawner is supported and supports the uptake of genomic information in fisheries management.

TL;DR: Current trends in world fisheries are analyzed from a fisheries and conservation perspective, finding that 63% of assessed fish stocks worldwide still require rebuilding, and even lower exploitation rates are needed to reverse the collapse of vulnerable species.

The problems with hybrids: setting conservation guidelines
TL;DR: This work provides a categorization of hybridization to help guide management decisions and recognizes that nearly every situation involving hybridization is different enough that general rules are not likely to be effective.

TL;DR: Five decades of data are used to provide the first quantification of portfolio effects that derive from population and life history diversity in an important and heavily exploited species to demonstrate the critical importance of maintaining population diversity for stabilizing ecosystem services and securing the economies and livelihoods that depend on them.

Catch reconstructions reveal that global marine fisheries catches are higher than reported and declining
Daniel Pauly,Dirk Zeller +1 more
TL;DR: A decade-long multinational ‘catch reconstruction’ project covering the Exclusive Economic Zones of the world's maritime countries and the High Seas from 1950 to 2010, and accounting for all fisheries, suggests that catch actually peaked at 130 million tonnes, and has been declining much more strongly since.

TL;DR: Analysis is targeting a 648 base pair region of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I (COI) gene, targeting several specimens with divergent barcode sequences confirmed by integrative taxonomic analysis as new species.
