Abstract
The last decade has seen dramatic technological developments which have resulted in massive production of genome and transcriptome sequence information from a variety of organisms, at all levels of complexity, including several fish species. While hitherto most applications of genomic data have been in biomedicine, biotechnology, and agriculture, there is a growing interest in applying genomic approaches to animal production. This review will describe the basic tools and resources that are currently available and how they are being used for advancing aquaculture. Finally, it will discuss current trends that are likely to have some impact for the benefit of aquaculture.
