Members of the GEN-FISH Research Team and project partners are working on a Great Lakes Fishery Commission Science Transfer Program project to make omics more accessible for fisheries managers. It’s our goal to translate the techniques, applications, and benefits of omics technology for fisheries science; for instance, omics could be applied to solve or address many concerns for fisheries in Canada and globally, such as quantifying fish population responses to management actions, or measuring fish stress and health.
