European researchers have created a new breed of European catfish, named after the SilGen project, which is expected to replace expensive fish like salmon, tuna, and cod. The new breed is not only tasty and healthy but also adaptable, quick-growing, and disease-resistant. The SilGen project has developed a system for mass producing high-quality freshwater catfish. The researchers have bred this new breed by isolating genes responsible for beneficial traits and plan to make it more affordable through partnerships with farmers and restaurants. The catfish is expected to provide essential nutrients and give reservoirs a 'rest' as a sustainable alternative to overfished seas, rivers, and oceans.

This will help provide fish to a growing population and reduce the use of sea, river and ocean resources, according to SEEDS. Follow the news in a convenient format: Follow us on Twitter A new hybrid of European catfish, bred by specialists from several EU countries, can replace expensive salmon, tuna and cod. Catfish is a very tasty and healthy fish if properly seasoned and prepared. It can easily adapt to different breeding conditions, grows quickly and is resistant to diseases. Within the framework of the SilGen project, a system of mass production of freshwater catfish of the highest quality has been created. The researchers started by breeding the best possible domesticated version of the European catfish. They isolated the genes responsible for the beneficial traits to improve the offspring until they came up with a new breed named after the SilGen project. In the future, the European catfish will ...
