The innovations of the "Omics Era" have ushered in significant advancements genetic improvement agriculturally important animal species through transforming genetics, genomics and breeding strategies. These were often coordinated, part, by support provided over 30 years 1993-2023 National Research Support Project 8 (NRSP8, Animal Genome Program, NAGRP) affiliate projects focused on enabling genomic discoveries livestock, poultry, aquaculture species. parallel advances demand strategic planning future research priorities. This paper, as an output from May 2023 Aquaculture Genomics, Genetics, Breeding Workshop, provides updated status resources for United States species, highlighting major achievements emerging Finfish shellfish genome omics enhance our understanding architecture heritability performance production traits. Workshop identified present aims genomics/omics to build this progress: (1) advancing reference assembly quality; (2) integrating multi-omics data analysis traits; (3) developing collection integration phenomics data; (4) creating pathways applying information across industries; (5) providing training, extension, outreach application phenome. focuses should emphasize collection, artificial intelligence, identifying causative relationships between genotypes phenotypes, establishing apply tools industries, expansion training programs next-generation workforce facilitate sciences into operations productivity, competitiveness, sustainability. collective vision with focus highlighted priorities is intended continued advancement genomics, genetics community industries. Critical challenges ahead include practical analytical frameworks beyond academic communities that require collaborative partnerships academia, government, industry. scope review encompasses use applications study aquatic animals cultivated human consumption settings throughout their life-cycle.
