The use of marine organisms to degrade a variety of natural and synthetic substances in the marine environment is drawing attention for its potential in environmental restoration. This text's discussions include: petroleum spill bioremediation, use of spectroscopy and detoxification of mercury.

This volume illustrates the broad array of approaches being tested for using molecular genetics for biotechnology purposes. Chapters examine the use of mirocsatellite probes for DNA fingerprinting of cultured red algae, gene transfer technology for salmon, and more.

This two-volume set comprises Part A - Seaweeds and Invertebrates and Part B - Fishes. The volumes present information to facilitate the aquaculture of a wide variety of food species. Possible solutions for the control of life cycles of species are presented.

While advances in marine biotechnology will certainly enhance our capabilities in the marine realm, what we learn there will doubtless provide new insight into the biology of freshwater and terrestrial organisms. This volume is a compilation of information that covers a wide range of animal groups. This book will be of interest not only to biotechnologists but also to aquaculturists, comparative animal physiologists, comparative endocrinologists, and developmental biologists.

Bioremediation, the use of microorganisms to degrade, sequester, or remove environmental contaminants, is an urgent need of our planet for protection and restoration from toxic contaminants. This book not only provides cutting edge information about bioremediation of aquatic and terrestrial habitats, but also highlights the gaps in our knowledge of the subject. Among the topics covered in this volume are those that deal with petroleum spill bioremediation, bioremediation of heavy metals, and the use of genetically engineered microorganisms in bioremediation.
