At the seminar, results from two recent projects were presented:   Stimulating Sustainable Innovation in Aquaculture, which FNI is carrying out in cooperation with Nofima, GENØK Centre for Biosafety and CGIAR's WorldFish Center in Penang (Malaysia).   Developing and Implementing Advanced Molecular Methods, and Streamlining Access to and Use of Aquaculture Genetic Resources: Carp and Shrimp in India, which is carried out in cooperation with Nofima, Akvaforsk Genetic Center, and three Indian partners: Central Institute for Freshwater Aquaculture (CIFA), Central Institute for Brackishwater Aquaculture (CIBA) and the Indian Council of Agricultural Research.
