Aquaculture Microbiology and Biotechnology, Vol. 1

Addresses the scope of microbiology and biotechnology in aquaculture. This book provides accounts of approaches to improving aquaculture production and productivity. It also addresses natural resource conservation and environmental protection issues.

Aquaculture is currently one of the fastest growing production sectors in the world. It now accounts for nearly half (45%) of the worlds food fish (which refers to production of aquatic animals: fish, crustaceans, molluscs, amphibians) and this increase is expected to reach 50% in 2015. Genetic engineering and biotechnology have contributed vastly to this field. The most commonly used methods in fish biotechnology are chromosome manipulation and hormone treatment which can be used to produce triploid, tetraploid, haploid, gynogenetic and androgenetic fish.
