We're excited to launch the GenoMar Tilapia Knowledge Outreach Program, an initiative to promote collaboration between academia and the industry for sustainable tilapia breeding. Through hands-on training, financial support, and collaborative projects, we’re encouraging students to grow their skills and transform academic knowledge into practical solutions. Our program backs students and researchers to play a role in advancing sustainable aquaculture. The program consist of four pillars: 1️⃣ Apprenticeship program: Practical, on-the-job experience for students to learn alongside industry professionals in Vietnam, the Philippines, Brazil, and beyond. 2️⃣ Financial assistance: Scholarships to help talented students reach their full potential. 3️⃣ Collaborative research: Partnering with universities worldwide on innovative research 4️⃣ Guest lectures: Our experts share their insights with students, researchers and stakeholders to strengthen and exchange knowledge about sustainable tilapia farming. #SustainableAquaculture #Tilapia #Genetics #Collaboration #Research #Innovation #AlwaysOneGenerationAhead

We had the privilege of being present at IFC 2024 in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil where our Global Commercial Director, Rodrigo Zanolo, shared insights on "Genetic improvement in tilapia: Advances in technology for a more productive and profitable crop". Our tilapia breeding programs are based on best practice and modern technologies from more than 50 years of experience within fish and animal breeding. Field performance for important traits like survival, disease resistance, growth, fillet yield and uniformity has been proven in commercial farms, contributing to a sustainable tilapia industry. IFC (International Fish Congress) is a key event in the aquaculture sector, uniting experts and professionals to exchange knowledge and shape the future of tilapia production, both in Brazil and globally. #IFC2024 #Aquaculture #Tilapia #Genomics #Innovation #Sustainability #AlwaysOneGenerationAhead

Genomar Supreme Philippines, Inc. is proud to be recognized as a distinguished awardee at the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (BFAR) 61st Fish Conservation Week Celebration, held on September 20, 2024, at Orchid Gardens, Lazatin Blvd., San Fernando, Pampanga.

This award reinforces our dedication to fostering partnerships that promote sustainable fisheries and aquaculture across the country. Looking ahead, we’re excited to continue working alongside BFAR and other stakeholders to champion responsible aquaculture practices for the future of our nation's fisheries. 🌱🐟 #SustainableAquaculture #FishConservation #BFAR #Award #Partnerships #WeAreGenoMar #AlwaysOneGenerationAhead

Senior Researcher Rajesh Joshi in action at Aqua 2024. He presented the promising results of combining genomic selection and line breeding to improve the performance of tilapia in farming. With this method we are crossing genomic selected tilapia from two different specialised breeding populations/lines to make the preferred product. For example, females from the health and survival line are crossed with males from the growth and yield line. The offspring (fingerlings to the farmers) will have a faster and higher genetic gain compared to using only genomic selected parents.

A great evening at the Team Norway Networking Dinner, hosted by the Norwegian Embassy in Hanoi and Innovation Norway during VIETFISH EXPO 2024, Vietnam’s biggest international seafood exhibition. This event was part of the ongoing efforts between the Norwegian and Vietnamese ministries to enhance commercial cooperation in the aquaculture and seafood sector. Norwegian companies operating in Vietnam shared their experiences and discussed further developments to build a sustainable aquaculture industry. From our side, the general manager of Vietnam & Malaysia, Trung Nguyen Van attended this occasion. Key participants: •      Vietnam's Department of Fisheries, Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development •      Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP) •      Norwegian Embassy – Commercial Section/Innovation Norway •      Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry •      Norwegian Business Network Project, represented by Optimar •      Norwegian businesses in aquaculture & seafood production in Vietnam •      Key Vietnamese seafood producers #Vietfish2024 #SustainableAquaculture #NorwayVietnam

Learn about the impact of tilapia genetics in this interview with Rajesh Joshi, Senior Researcher at GenoMar Genetics, published in the Hatchery Feed & Management magazine: https://lnkd.in/drMSRHsk. In this edition, Rajesh talks about the advancements and future prospects of the tilapia industry through genetic innovation. With over 30 years of development, he discusses the journey of modern tilapia breeding, the integration of genomic selection and line breeding, and the steps GenoMar has made in creating high-performing, robust tilapia strains. #tilapia #aquaculture #InnovationInAquaculture #genomics #sustainableAquaculture #WeAreGenoMar #AlwaysOneGenerationAhead

We are happy to share the results from a recent field trial comparing our premium genetic tilapia line, GenoMar 1000, with a market-leading local strain in Brazil. The study was conducted under commercial conditions with a blinded common garden experimental design in both pond and cage production systems. Key Findings: Growth Rate: GenoMar 1000 grew approximately 30% faster than the local strain. Survival and Uniformity: GenoMar 1000 showed better survival rates and more uniform fish at harvest. Economic Analysis: Indicated a 31-36% annual increase in profits with GenoMar 1000. These findings suggest that GenoMar 1000 can significantly improve productivity, profitability, and sustainability in the Brazilian tilapia industry. #Tilapia #Genetics #Genomics #LineBreeding #GenoMar1000 #Sustainability #Brazil #FieldTrial #AquacultureIndustry #Productivity #Profitability #SustainableFarming #WeAreGenoMar #AlwaysOneGenerationAhead
