Improving the reproduction of kampachi (also known as longfin yellowtail or Almaco Jack) and Pacific white shrimp in Hawaiʻi is the focus of a University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoaʻs College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources (CTAHR), UH Sea Grant College Programme (Hawaiʻi Sea Grant) and Hawaiʻi Pacific University’s (HPU) Oceanic Institute (OI) research partnership.

Nearly $1 million in funding from a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Sea Grant will address the key barriers of kampachi production by focusing on improving egg quality, fecundity (ability to produce many offspring) and juvenile development. Nearly $250,000 will fund a second project that will use a genomic approach to improve the reproduction performance of shrimp, including laboratory experiments to assess and improve their genetic traits.
