Knowledge Generation and Application Lines
1.- General, molecular and genomic genetics of aquatic organisms.
2.- Functional anatomy.
3.- Ecology (life histories) and aquaculture.
4.- Characterization of gametes and cryopreservation.
Description
1.- Cytogenetic studies, genetic and population diversity, phylogeography, genomics and molecular systematics. Knowledge of the genetic biodiversity of natural resources, particularly of native or endemic species, is fundamental for their management and conservation. Therefore, studies of their populations, species and sister groups at the molecular and genomic levels allow, in addition to knowing this biodiversity, to understand their current status and relationships and to determine support strategies for their conservation, exploitation and management.
2.- The study of the gene...

2.- The study of the general anatomy of freshwater and marine teleost fishes of economic importance allows, in addition to describing the systems and organs, to relate the anatomical characteristics of these functional aspects of the biological system.
3.- Studies on the early life history and culture of fish and aquatic organisms of economic and scientific importance are fundamental to implement biotechnologies in closed recirculation systems that contribute to their conservation. It addresses aspects related to reproduction and production of fry and juvenile eggs, as well as the analysis of performance indicators under different circumstances and nutritional and water quality requirements.
4.- To continue with studies that allow knowing the morphology of male gametes of key aquatic species, with the purpose of contributing in the development of methodological strategies that lead to their preservation.
