This book covers topics essential to the study of fish genetics, including qualitative and quantitative traits, crossbreeding, inbreeding, genetic drift, hybridization, selection programs, polyploidy, genomics and cloning. This fully updated second edition also addresses environmental risk, food...
This chapter covers the application and use of combinations of traditional selective breeding and new biotechnologies in aquaculture. Focus is given on the following combinations as well as examples illustrating their use and effects on fish: sex reversal and triploidy; genetic engineering and...
This chapter discusses the use of transgenic or genetically modified organisms in aquaculture, its advantages and disadvantages, particularly its impacts on local biodiversity and native gene pool. Also discussed are the applications of genetic sterilization in aquaculture.
This chapter covers the risks posed to the environment by aquatic organisms produced using genetic biotechnology such as transgenic fish. The ecological, genetic and evolutionary impacts of genetically modified organisms are discussed. Environmental risk data on transgenic fish are presented as...
This chapter covers several constraints and limitations that the aquaculture genetics have to overcome in order to reach its full impact, potential and benefits. The issues discussed are environmental (biodiversity, genetic conservation and environmental risk of genetically modified aquatic...
This chapter discusses the history of biotechnology, genetics and selective breeding in aquaculture and fisheries dating back from 2000 years or more in China where mutations and phenotypic variantions in carp was already noticed by fish farmers and to the Roman Empire. The chronological...
This chapter covers the government regulation of transgenic fish and biotechnology products in different countries (USA, Canada and UK). Focus is given on regulations regarding the research and marketing of transgenic food organisms, culture of transgenic fish, introduction and release into the...
