"The genetic improvement of fish for aquaculture and related fisheries is a field or research that has seen immense advances over the years. The molecular genetics programs are focused on developing highly specific and highly sensitive technologies to assist aquaculture industry. Current research across the globe is at advancing basic understanding of biological and genetic processes in order to guide the development of appropriate policies and protocols governing the application of biotechnology in fisheries an aquaculture. This comprehensive but easy to use book covers major areas which carefully explains the sciences and applications of biotechnology and genetic techniques to fisheries and aquaculture. It has been written for the students of several universities and will be of immense interest to the students of life sciences, biological sciences and particularly those studying marine, aquatic biology, fish biology, fisheries, and aquaculture."
