Genomics in Aquaculture is a concise,
must-have reference that describes
current advances within the field of
genomics and their applications to
aquaculture. Written in an accessible
manner for anyone―non-specialists to
experts alike―this book provides
in-depth coverage of genomics spanning
from genome sequencing, to
transcriptomics and proteomics. It
provides, for ease of learning, examples
from key species most relevant to
current intensive aquaculture practice.
Its coverage of minority species that
have a specific biological interest
(e.g., Pleuronectiformes) makes this
book useful for countries that are
developing such species. It is a robust,
practical resource that covers
foundational, functional, and applied
aspects of genomics in aquaculture,
presenting the most current information
in a field of research that is rapidly
growing.
Provides the latest scientific methods
and technologies to maximize
efficiencies for healthy fish
production, with summary tables for
quick referenceOffers an extended
glossary of technical and methodological
terms to help readers better understand
key biological conceptsDescribes
state-of-the-art technologies, such as
transcriptomics and epigenomics,
currently under development for future
perspective of the fieldCovers minority
species that have a specific biological
interest (e.g., Pleuronectiformes),
making the book useful to countries
developing such species.
