Baygene.
Breeding for resilience.

Faster growth is no longer enough. Baygene helps breeding programs find the shrimp that hold survival, growth and feed efficiency under real-world disease and environmental pressure — and select them faster.

How baygene works

From observation to predictive selection.

Conventional selection leans on growth and survival observed across many generations. Baygene turns phenotypic, genotypic and environmental data into one continuous loop: capture, analyze, identify, predict, select, validate.

1

Capture

Photo-based evidence turns phenotypic observations — growth, survival, health, behaviour, stress response — into consistent, structured data.

2

Integrate

Genotypic data from breeding and genetic-supply partners is combined with pond, creek and disease conditions.

3

Predict and select

AI surfaces relationships between genotype, phenotype and environment, so breeders can select for resilience in fewer generations.

4

Validate

The next generation goes back into the loop. Every cycle shortens the gap between genetic input and real-world performance.

The goal

Not the fastest shrimp. The shrimp that keeps performing.

The objective is shrimp that perform reliably in the environments where they are actually farmed. Baygene is in development; these are the dimensions it is built to select against.

Survival

Under disease pressure

Persistent pathogen load, not clean-tank conditions.

Growth

Under environmental stress

Rising organic loads, shifting pond and creek conditions.

Feed

Efficiency that holds

Consistent conversion when conditions are no longer ideal.

Cycles

A shorter feedback loop

Genetic input → performance → analysis → selection → next generation.
