► Description: |
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 'From
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 Aquaculture 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.
- Completely updated, revised and
expanded new edition
- Subject area of ever increasing
importance
