► Description: |
Fisheries genetics researchers will find
invaluable the thirty-eight peer-reviewed
contributions in this book, presented at
the 20th Lowell Wakefield Fisheries
Symposium "Genetics of Subpolar Fish and
Invertebrates," held in May 2002 in
Juneau, Alaska.
Looming over concerns of lost fisheries
stocks and persistent erosion of genetic
variability are predictions of global
warming, which may further tax genetic
resources. One consequence is an increased
reliance on genetic applications to many
aspects of fisheries management,
aquaculture, and conservation.
The contributions in this book are
important to modern fisheries science and
genetics, and illustrate the evolution of
the field over the past decade. The
improved technology provides tools to
address increasingly complicated problems
in traditional applications and ecological
and behavioral studies. The union between
molecular and quantitative genetics, where
many of the major questions about
population structure and evolution remain
unanswered, will also benefit from the new
technologies.
