Biotechnology - the use of biological systems or living organisms in production processes - has a wide range of useful applications in fisheries and aquaculture. Modern biotechnology is already making important contributions and poses significant challenges to aquaculture and fisheries development. It perceives that modern biotechnologies should be used as adjuncts to and not as substitutes for conventional technologies in solving problems, and that their application should be need-driven rather than technology-driven. The use of modern biotechnology to enhance production of aquatic species holds great potential not only to meet demand but also to improve aquaculture. Genetic modification and biotechnology also holds tremendous potential to improve the quality and quantity of fish reared in aquaculture. It brings opportunities, for instance, to increase growth rate in farmed species, boost the nutritional value of aquafeeds, improve fish health, help restore and protect environments, extend the range of aquatic species and, improve the management and conservation of wild stocks. This book covers all the aspects of this subject. It is hoped, the book will be found to be of immense value to the students of this subject.
