| General Description of the Research Project | This cooperative research project aims to study genetic diversity and reproductive biology of two marine fish species, Golden trevally (Gnathanodon speciosus) and Giant trevally (Caranx ignobilis) which are important and heavily harvested food fish. The spatial genetic diversity will provide information on genetic variation within and among stocks which is useful for conservation and utilization (i.e. as germplasm for genetic improvement). Reproductive biology information is essential for future studies on captive breeding. |
