Studies of genetic variation within and among species of penaeid shrimp in nature are of interest to culturists. They provide information about genetic differences among potential founder populations for initiation of aquaculture stocks. In aquaculture, the application of genetic techniques provides opportunities to maximize the benefits of selective breeding, develop new strains of species, including hybrids, maintain genetic vigor in farmed stocks and provide an early warning system for possible undesired inbreeding, explore the potential of genetically enhanced traits such as improved...

The objective of this Book is to estimate the potential for freshwater fish farming (Tilapia, Catfish, Eels, Crap and Salmon) in order to stimulate improved planning for aquaculture development and to provide a tool to plan comprehensively for technical assistance in fish farming activities. Development of aquaculture holds the most promise for improving food security through increasing the supply of fish. Also, focus on Pond construction, pen farming, production of fish fry and management.

This book covers some important methods for the analysis of micro-array data and QTL. It is also considered important that readers learn to read and understand the relevant literature, because it is a fast moving subject field. R and Bioconductor used in this book. The student can explore the dependencies and the structure in a large multivariate data set, and can apply the multivariate methods correctly. The reader can also analyze micro-arrays and he/she known the basics of QTL, linkage analysis and association studies. The reader is able to read and understand the relevant literature....

This book aims to provide the fisheries manager with tools and innovative solutions to achieve the main task of balancing the pressure on the fish stocks and fishing zones. By bringing stakeholders together to share experiences, learn together and contribute to decision making processes and everyone see his point of view reflected in the policy. Also, this book deals with fisheries governance and fisheries management. Discuss challenges that fisheries governance face and explore ways to strengthen fisheries governance. The book provides insights and skills to bring stakeholders in the...

Animal breeding is a branch of animal science that addresses the evaluation of the genetic value of domestic livestock. Selecting animals for breeding with superior the genetic value in growth rate, egg, meat, milk, or wool production, or have other desirable traits has revolutionized agricultural livestock production throughout the world. This handbook include scientific theory of animal breeding; population genetics, quantitative genetics, statistics, and molecular genomics. The Applied Animal Breeding and Genetics handbook provides knowledge on the role and sustainable use of genetic...
