Abstract
The purpose of this Chapter is to consider the possibility that the responsiveness of fish to stress is a feature which has a distinct genetic component and may therefore be modified by selective breeding. By increasing the tolerance of fish to stress, thereby ameliorating some of the effects of unavoidable stress, it may be feasible to generate strains of fish which display improved performance within the aquaculture environment, across a number of traits.
