This chapter covers genotype-environment (GE) interactions and its implications on aquaculture. The 2 types of GE interaction are described. Focus is given on the occurrence of GE interactions in traditional breeding as well as their effects and relation to polyploidy and transgenics.
This chapter presented key points regarding polyploidy in fishes and other aquatic and aquaculture species wherein studies showed that very rarely does the induction of triploidy enhance growth in fish, but it is very effective for enhancing growth in shellfish. However, in fish species such as...
This article discusses the application and principle of polyploidy; polyploid induction in fish; polyploid induction in shellfish; triploid cells; ploidy determination; triploid fish performance; invertebrate triploid performance; tetraploids; hexaploid fish; tetraploid shellfish; fisheries...
Genetically enhanced aquatic organisms are being applied in fish farming with increasing frequency. These aquacultured fish, crustaceans, and shellfish have been improved by a variety of genetic improvement programs such as strain selection, intraspecific crossbreeding, interspecific...
This chapter covers the commercial applications of fish biotechnology. Focus is given on selection, intraspecific crossbreeding, interspecific hybridization, polyploidy, sex reversal and breeding and genetic engineering.
This chapter covers strain evaluation, domestication and strain selection and their applications in aquaculture, particularly fish culture. Focus is given on genetic improvement programmes, natural selection in strain development, domestic and wild strains and strain effects on other breeding...
Genetically enhanced aquatic organisms are being applied in fish farming with increasing frequency. This chapter highlights the environmental impact on aquacultured fish, crustaceans, and shellfish which have been improved by a variety of genetic improvement programs such as strain selection,...
Effects of antimicrobial peptides (AMP) added to diets on aquatic animal health and body function are influenced by multiple factors such as animal species, initial body weight, the dosage of AMP and feeding duration. However, there is limited knowledge on the relationship between these factors and ...
This chapter describes the beneficial effects of crossbreeding on the growth, survival, reproduction and disease resistance of aquacultured animals.
The issues (research, development, biodiversity, political and economic), constraints, limitations, progress and recommendations in aquatic animal genetics are described.
