Computer simulations are being used to enhance barramundi breeding programs in Australia, according to a researcher from the University of Queensland,

Jessica Hintzsche is collaborating with the ARC Research Hub for Supercharging Tropical Aquaculture at James Cook University, and MainStream Aquaculture Group, to virtually model the genetic tools available to barramundi farming in the country. 

By creating a 3D digital replica of the farm, researchers can run simulations to test the impact of different genomic, breeding, and production technologies, she said [...]
