The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Agriculture Research Service (ARS) has posted a fiscal year 2017 annual aquaculture research report. Fiscal year 2017 was the third year of the five-year National Action Plan (2015- 2019) which includes the following Components:
- Selective Breeding, Directed Reproduction, and Development of Genomic Tools
- Nutrient Requirements and Alternative Sources of Protein and Lipid
- Health of Aquatic Animals
- Sustainable Production Systems
- Product Quality and New Products
Although these project plans guide most of the efforts of the laboratories, the ARS Aquaculture Program is flexible to respond to unanticipated challenges and opportunities. ARS aquaculture research covers the spectrum from fundamental to applied research and is focused on solving problems through long-term, high-impact research. ARS aquaculture scientists published 73 articles in peer-reviewed scientific journals in fiscal year 2017.
