"The steadily growing importance of fish farming has compelled improvements in the technologies necessary for securing the initial basic requirements for productive aquaculture; namely the production of fish seed for stocking. Fish culture today is hardly possible without the artificial propagation of fish seeds of preferred cultivable fish species. The need for the production quality fish seed for stocking the fish ponds and natural water bodies has indeed increased steadily. Genome technologies provide new tools for genetic analysis. Innovative DNA maker technologies have opened a broad avenue for the analysis of genetic diversity based genotypes. The application of genomics in aquaculture and capture fisheries raise ethical, economic, environmental, legal, and social concerns. The most prominent of these at present relate to the developmental and use of genetically modified organisms. This illustrated handbook of genetics and fish breeding presents topics essential to the study of fish genetics, including qualitative and quantitative traits, crossbreeding, inbreeding, genetic drift, hybridization, selection programs, polyploidy, genomics and cloning."--Back cover
