The primary reason for travel was to attend Fish Breeders’ Round Table discussions of molecular genetics and breeding in Norway.

The Fish Breeders’ Round Table is an international forum that is held every four years in Norway, where knowledge and experience is exchanged between fish breeding researchers and those involved in applied genetic improvement work on a commercial basis. The forum is structured such that at least one person per attending company or institute gives a presentation at the meeting. No proceedings are published, ensuring that outcomes of the meeting are for those actively attending only.
