What role for genomics in fisheries management and aquaculture?
The development and application of genomics has been facilitated in a number of fields by the availability of new methodologies and tools, such as high throughput DNA sequencing and complementary DNA (cDNA) microarrays. Genomic tools are already used in research on commercially important fish and shellfish species. Thousands of expressed sequence tags (EST) are now available for some of these species, and the sequencing of complete genomes of tilapia, cod, salmonids, flatfishes, sea bass and Pacific oyster has been proposed. Microarray technology through simultaneous analysis of the expression of thousands of genes allows the identification of candidate genes involved in the function of multiple physiological, morphological and behavioural traits of interests in organisms and populations from different environments. This paper reviews the current development of genomic technologies, and pinpoints their potential beneficial applications as well as implications for fisheries management and aquaculture.Le dĂ©veloppement et l'application de la gĂ©nomique ont Ă©tĂ© facilitĂ©s dans un certain nombre de domaines par la disponibilitĂ© de nouveaux outils et de nouvelles mĂ©thodes, tels que le sĂ©quençage d'ADN Ă haut dĂ©bit et les puces Ă ADN ("microarrays"). Les outils de la gĂ©nomique sont dĂ©jĂ dĂ©veloppĂ©s sur les espĂšces de poissons et d'invertĂ©brĂ©s d'importance commerciale. Des milliers d'Ă©tiquettes, marqueurs de sĂ©quence exprimĂ©e (EST) sont dĂ©sormais disponibles pour quelques unes de ces espĂšces et le sĂ©quençage du gĂ©nome complet de tilapia, de la morue, de salmonidĂ©s, de poissons plats, du bar, et de l'huĂźtre creuse sont demandĂ©s. La technologie des puces Ă ADN, au travers d'analyse simultanĂ©e de l'expression de milliers de gĂšnes, permet l'identification de gĂšnes candidats impliquĂ©s dans les multiples fonctions physiologiques, morphologiques et comportementales chez les organismes et les populations d'environnements variĂ©s. Cet article prĂ©sente la synthĂšse de rĂ©cents dĂ©veloppements de ces technologies du gĂ©nome, et met en Ă©vidence leurs applications potentielles ainsi que les implications dans la gestion des pĂȘches et de l'aquaculture
