To be competitive on the international market, the production efficiency has to be maximised taking into consideration quality aspects of muscle based foods of importance for consumer attitudes towards these.The main objective of this Action was to explain the interaction between genetics and environment in prenatal events (myogenesis and satellite cell behaviour) in an attempt to find new and alternative methods to be used in selection for optimising postnatal growth and meat/fish quality.
