This study evaluates the performance of selectively bred F4 versus unselected F1 Australasian snapper in two rearing environments, finding improved growth and survival in F4 snapper.

The paper uses computer vision and machine learning to predict growth traits in snapper, finding that models capture 18-40% of genetic variation but face challenges from population structure.

The paper generates the first chromosome-length annotated genomes and transcriptomes of black and mute swans, revealing immune system limitations and plumage-related genetic differences.
