Sažetak

Aquaculture is an increasing industry, with a total value of 56 billion US$. Production is based on about 210 species of which the carps and oysters have the largest world–wide production. Aquaculture industry strives to improve production of some species with selection targeted work, which is primarily based on methods of population genetics. The main goal of breeding programs in aquaculture is to increase the profitability and sustainability, while maintaining genetic variability in the cultured stock. Current breeding selection programs strive to improve salmonids, shrimps and tilapia with the proviso that the positive effects at salmonids are most stated. During the last decade development of molecular genetics provides the ability of increasing selection pressure through the use of genetic markers that have direct or indirect effects on the production value. The aim of this work is giving the display of new achievements, capabilities, but also having problems in the integration of marker assisted selection in aquaculture.
