Full Description
This exam focuses on the fundamental concepts of population genetics as they apply to aquatic species. Topics include gene flow, genetic drift, and the impacts of mating systems on genetic diversity.
The significance of population genetics lies in its ability to inform breeding strategies aimed at maximizing genetic diversity while minimizing inbreeding. This has direct implications for the sustainability and productivity of aquaculture practices.
Candidates will be tested on their capacity to explain population genetic metrics, assess genetic diversity, and articulate strategies for managing breeding stocks. Verbal communication skills will be assessed through discussion.
Students are encouraged to familiarize themselves with case studies that illustrate the application of population genetics to real-world aquaculture challenges.
Sample Questions
- What role does genetic drift play in shaping the genetic structure of aquatic populations?
- In what ways can gene flow affect the genetic diversity of aquaculture stocks?
