This book opens with background information on the aquaculture industry, development of new species, the benefits of increased production and discussion of new techniques now being in aquaculture research. Introductory chapters include information on basic molecular biological techniques such as PCR, cloning, and hybridization whilst subsequent chapters review key areas of molecular research such as microarray analysis, quantitative PCR and transgenics.
