Aquaculture Multiple technology areas Aquaculture technology Fisheries technology Research project Understanding flesh colour variation in Atlantic salmon: Molecular mechanisms and genetic effect This project made critical findings on flesh colour variation in Atlantic Salmon in Tasmania. The investigation into the correlation of colour variation with high seawater temperature delivered new insights into thermal tolerance and genetics in Atlantic salmon, and their performance in a context of climate change and global warming.
