The aquaculture industry of Aotearoa relies heavily on the farming of three species, which includes only one finfish species (the non-indigenous king salmon). To enhance food security and better support local communities, The Smart Māori Aquaculture initiative has identified haku/warehenga as a high-potential indigenous finfish for aquaculture. However, genetic information for wild haku populations surrounding Aotearoa is limited; this project will develop new genomic resources for this species to support the aquaculture initiative.
