ESSENTIALS OF AQUACULTURE BIOTECHNOLOGY
Aquaculture, an essential contributor to global food security and environmental sustainability, has become increasingly reliant on advancements in biotechnology. Essentials of Aquaculture Biotechnology is a comprehensive study guide tailored for students of biotechnology and life sciences, providing foundational knowledge and practical insights to support their academic and professional journeys. This book explores critical topics such as fish breeding techniques, water quality management, genetic advancements, disease prevention, and innovative farming systems like biofloc technology and Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA). Designed to cater to a wide range of learners, from beginners to advanced scholars, the book simplifies complex concepts while maintaining scientific rigor. It bridges the gap between traditional aquaculture practices and modern biotechnological approaches, equipping students with the tools needed to address real-world challenges. Beyond being an academic guide, this resource is invaluable for researchers, professionals, and enthusiasts aiming to deepen their understanding of aquaculture. It serves as a reference for implementing sustainable practices, exploring cutting-edge innovations, and contributing to advancements in this field. We hope this book not only enhances knowledge but also inspires readers to contribute meaningfully to the development of sustainable, efficient, and technologically advanced aquaculture systems for the betterment of society and the environment.
Reproductive Biotechnology in Finfish Aquaculture
The successful reproduction of cultured brood stock is essential to the sustainable aquaculture of aquatic organisms. This book describes recent advances in the field of finfish reproductive biotechnology. The chapters in this volume are written by eminent scientists who review the progress and assess the status of biotechnology research that is applicable to the reproduction of finfish species for aquaculture. A wide range of topics is included starting with broodstock technologies such as broodstock genetics, broodstock nutrition, environmental control of maturation and impacts of stress on broodstock, gametes and progeny. The volume includes technologies for induction of ovulation and spermiation using synthetic hypothalamic peptides. Gamete technologies which are described include cryopreservation, chromosome set manipulation, disease prevention and control for gametes and embryos and the development of transgenic fish with enhanced production characteristics. Genetic and endocrine technologies for the production of monosex male and female fish stocks are also described.The closing chapter summarizes the discussion of each topic at the workshop, provides recommendations to industry and describes priorities of research and development. Researchers as well as teaching faculty in the aquaculture field will find this volume of great value.
Essentials of Biotechnology
"A comprehensive treatise on biotechnology, this volume starts with an overall review of early applications that scientists employed long before the field was defined. It then moves on to examine the emergence of current methods and specialized tools in the field, as well as cell culture and nucleic acid based technologies. It devotes individual chapters to biotechnology in the areas of health, agriculture, environment, aquaculture, and food. These are followed by chapters on the status of biotechnology in developing countries with special reference to India. It also discusses debated ethical considerations and explores ongoing issues regarding intellectual property rights and patents."--Publisher's website.
