Khrystyna Kurta

I am a Postdoc at the Department of Animal Breeding and Genetics, Swedish University of Agricultural sciences (SLU)

My current research interest is applying next-generation sequencing in Arctic charr and rainbow trout selective breeding with the primary goal to increase the selection accuracy and preserve genetic diversity.

My previous scientific work focused on microsatellite DNA polymorphism study of farmed paddlefish stocks, meiotic gynogenesis in sterlet, and the monitoring of the population's genetic structure of sturgeon species, including selective based on microsatellite DNA profile.

Research projects

- I am a postdoctoral researcher in the ARCTAQUA project, funded by EU.

Ukrainian Aquaculture Assosiation -  I am a co-founder of the Assosiation which  gather aquaculture specialists, workers and amateurs who are interested in sustainable, energy saving and innovative fish farming
