GS models have also been highly accurate for prediction using low-density marker panels and thus are cost-efficient for research and commercial breeding. To achieve the full potential of molecular breeding, integration of research advancements with industry needs should be augmented. It encompasses the development of user-friendly breeding databases, the development of cost-effective genotyping technologies, and institutional capacity-building in grassroot breeding stations. The joint efforts of industry stakeholders and researchers will facilitate quick takeoff of genomic tools, allow for the development of better Channastrains, and generate sustainable aquaculture growth.
