Biotechnology in Fisheries Research is gaining considerable importance now in India towards evolving new innovative processes and products which could be used effectively to augment fish production in aquaculture sector and for innovative fishery products development using ever valuable marine resources. Human resource development in the field of Fisheries Biotechnology is currently getting momentum which is inevitable to cater to the future human resource need of the country. The recent advanced developments taking place in the field of Biotechnology in our country in view of the proactive drive initiated by the Government of India through DBT, DST, CSIR, University, etc have resulted in more infrastructure development and protocols / processes to evolve new and innovative bio-products. The Fisheries and Aquaculture sectors are not far behind, and the kind of developments taking place in our country in aquatic disease diagnosis, bioremediation in aquaculture systems management, intensive culture practices, feed formulation, etc are confirming the fact that the sector is on its right course. The processes and farming practices standardised in managing aquaculture systems and the various biotechnological techniques being adopted world over in marine fisheries sector for promoting fish and fishery products development are compiled and presented with our own experiences for the benefit of readers of the book. Conventional biotechnological techniques such as genetics based ones to the advanced genomics based technologies are vividly explained in the book. The book may be immensely beneficial for the Biotechnology students, scholars, teachers and scientists to plan, to process and to develop innovative useful and bio-products.
