Abstract: (11 Views) |
The ornamental aquaculture industry has become a significant contributor to the aquatic economy, with notable growth in recent years and impacts on employment and exports. Due to the biological sensitivity and species diversity in this sector, integrating molecular biotechnology approaches, such as genomics and metabolomics, has led to improvements in growth performance, health, and sustainability of aquarium systems. Genomics identifies genes linked to valuable traits, while metabolomics reveals metabolic profiles for precise monitoring and optimization. Combined use of these omics technologies, using next-generation sequencing and data analytics, enables smarter system management and economic efficiency. However, challenges such as high costs, interdisciplinary requirements, and biological constraints persist, highlighting the need for collaborative research and innovation. Continuous advancements and infrastructure development suggest a promising future for implementing these technologies, improving production quality, and supporting biodiversity conservation. This review examines the principles, applications, challenges, and future prospects of genomics and metabolomics in ornamental aquaculture.
