Best use of scientific knowledge is required to maintain the fundamental role of seafood in human nutrition. While it is acknowledged that genomic-based methods allow the collection of powerful data, their value to inform fisheries management, aquaculture, and biosecurity applications remains underestimated. We review genomic applications of relevance to the sustainable management of seafood resources, illustrate the benefits of, and identify barriers to their integration. We conclude that the value of genomic information towards securing the future of seafood does not need to be further demonstrated. Instead, we need immediate efforts to remove structural roadblocks and focus on ways that support integration of genomic-informed methods into management and production practices. We propose solutions to pave the way forward.

需要充分利用科学知识来维持海鲜在人类营养中的基本作用。尽管人们公认基于基因组的方法可以收集强大的数据，但是它们在渔业管理，水产养殖和生物安全应用方面的价值仍然被低估了。我们审查了与海鲜资源可持续管理有关的基因组应用，阐明了其益处并确定了其整合的障碍。我们得出的结论是，基因信息对确保海产品未来的价值并不需要进一步证明。相反，我们需要立即努力消除结构性障碍，并专注于支持将基因组信息方法整合到管理和生产实践中的方法。我们提出解决方案，为前进道路铺平道路。
