Although Qu\u00e9bec has a territory favourable to the development of this industry, it does not produce enough fish to meet demand. Fish farming, however, is gaining ground in Qu\u00e9bec, particularly with the arrival of companies such as Aquaboreal. The company plans to set up the first land-based salmon farm, aiming for a production of 10,000 tonnes per year by 2028. To support the growth of this industry and introduce sustainable innovations, Merinov will conduct a study to evaluate the performance of farmed Qu\u00e9bec salmon and landlocked salmon. Using advanced technologies, such as transcriptomics and lipidomics, our team will attempt to identify the best strains for tank farming. This will involve testing different feeds\u2014with low or high plant content\u2014on the two strains to then study the digestibility of the feeds, as well as their impact on reproduction and on the fry. This study is part of a research program aimed at stimulating the salmon farming industry, reducing operating costs for companies, developing Qu\u00e9bec genetic lines and ensuring a local supply of Atlantic salmon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-30780","financed-project","type-financed-project","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/genomequebec.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/financed-project\/30780","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/genomequebec.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/financed-project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/genomequebec.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/financed-project"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/genomequebec.wp.vortexdev.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30780"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
