Abstract/Summary

Between December 1995 and November 1999 the European Commission, under EC Contract FAIR-CT95-0152, funded a multinational research effort that was designed to determine whether it was feasible to selectively breed aquacultured fish for an increased tolerance of stress. The project has now ended and this article presents a brief summary of the major findings of the study, together with some unexpected findings on the lines of fish selected for stress responsiveness.
