Aquaculture and fisheries biotechnology : genetic approaches /

The genetic improvement of fish for aquaculture and related fisheries is a field of research that has seen considerable advance. This book examines the area and should be of interest to advanced students and researchers in animal genetics, fish biology and aquaculture.
