The objectives of Genimpact are to review and discuss the current knowledge about the 
genetic impacts of farming activities and their implications for aquaculture management,
stock conservation and environment safety, and to integrate the scientific basis for the
establishment of preventive measures, for important aquaculture species like Atlantic salmon,
Atlantic cod, European sea bass, gilthead sea bream, turbot, carp, halibut, scallops, mussels,
oysters and European lobster.
The workplan of ‘Genimpact’ consists of 5 WPs:
 
WP 1. Genetics of domestication and breeding of fish and shellfish 
WP 2. Monitoring tools
WP 3. Predictive tools - Modeling assessment and risk 
WP 4. Development of management options to reduce genetic impacts of aquacultures activities
WP 5. Project Management
