I am a PhD student working with the GenoSysFat project. My work involves the development and utilization of a liver slice culture system to study the relationship between genetics and feed using omics based approaches. This information will be used to develop mathematical models of lipid metabolism to enable new systems based approaches to feed design and breeding strategies. The overall goal of this work is to improve filet omega-3 content of Salmon grown on more sustainable vegetable oil based feeds.

How can we increase the omega-3 content of salmon that are fed sustainable feeds? A brand new map of the salmon's genome makes it much easier to characterize heritable differences in how well different salmon families utilize the various nutrients.
