Biochemical methods are being used at Ås in research on trout. One example at CIGENE-NMBU involves AquaGen's work with DNA markers to develop disease-resistant rainbow trout for the fish farming industry.
... On the other end of the NMBU campus, conservation research with wild brown trout has been conducted for several years, using DNA marker technologies to monitor the distribution of fish and the effects of conservation measures. AquaGen is a commercial firm with research facilities at CIGENENMBU. Earlier, Aqua-Gen developed salmon and rainbow trout stocks with resistance to infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN). This research followed up on the discovery of a major QTL for IPN resistance in 2008 (1) and AquaGen was selling salmon eggs with the IPN resistance gene as early as 2009 for fish farming. IPN-resistant eggs for rainbow trout became available from AquaGen in 2015.
