  • "This comprehensive but easy-to-use guide to biotechnology and genetics in fisheries and aquaculture covers major areas such as the uses of genetic knowledge to captive breeding programmes and the use of gene transfer in fish to improve quality and resistance to disease."@en
  • ""Following the extremely well-received structure of the first edition, this carefully revised and updated new edition now includes much new information of vital importance to those working and researching in the fisheries and aquaculture industries. Commencing with chapters covering genetic variation and how it can be measured, the authors then look at genetic structure in natural populations, followed by a new chapter covering genetics in relation to population size and conservation issues. Genetic variation of traits and triploids and the manipulation of ploidy are fully covered, and another new chapter is included, entitled F̀rom Genetics to Genomics'. The book concludes with a chapter covering the impact of genetic engineering in aquaculture. With the inclusion of a wealth of up-to-date information, new text and figures and the inclusion of a third author, Pierre Boudry, the second edition of Biotechnology and Genetics in Fisheries and Aqua-culture provides an excellent text and reference of great value and use to upper level students and professionals working across fish biology, aquatic sciences, fisheries, aquaculture, genetics and biotechnology. Libraries in all universities and research establishments where biological sciences, fisheries and aquaculture are studied and taught should have several copies of this excellent new edition on their shelves."--BOOK JACKET"
  • "What is genetic variation?; How can genetic variation be measured?; Genetic structure in natural populations; Genetics of population size in conservation and aquaculture; Genetic variation of traits; From genetics to genomics; Triploids and beyond: why manipulate ploidy?; Genetic engineering in aquaculture."
  • "The recent development of molecular biology and genetic techniques, in particular those that are increasingly being used in practical situations in the fisheries and aquaculture of salmonids, molluscs and crustaceans, among others, has led to a gap in the understanding by many of the science behind these techniques and their correct implementation for maximum results. The authors of this important book, Andy Beaumont and Kate Hoare, have written a text of great clarity, which carefully explains the science and application of molecular and genetic techniques to fisheries and aquaculture situations and what these new technologies have to offer. Contents include a full explanation of genetic variation and its measurement, genetic structure in natural populations, genetics and artificial selection in the hatchery, ploidy manipulation and the use of genetic engineering in aquaculture. Biotechnology and Genetics in Fisheries and Aquaculture is of great use to biological sciences students, particularly those studying marine, freshwater and aquatic biology, fish biology, fisheries, aquaculture, population biology and genetics.; The book is also extremely useful as a reference to personnel such as commercial aquaculturists and fisheries scientists and all those working in fisheries and aquaculture management and research. Libraries in all universities and research establishments where biological sciences, fisheries and aquaculture are studied and taught should have copies of this book on their shelves."@en
