Molecular Research in Aquaculture
by Ken Overturf

Molecular Research in Aquaculture looks to provide an understanding of molecular research and its applications to the aquaculture industry in a format that allows individuals without prior experience in this area to learn about and understand this important field.

Molecular Research in Aquaculture opens with an introductory chapter giving background information on the aquaculture industry and the development of the science and research methods to what is currently being used.

From there it discusses how new, innovative techniques are now being converted and used for research in this field. Introductory chapters on basic molecular biological techniques, such as PCR, cloning, and hybridization, and their rationale provide the foundation for an in-depth look at molecular research and its specific applications.

Key features:

  • Coverage of basic molecular biological techniques and their rationale
  • In-depth look at molecular research and their applications to aquaculture
  • Valuable reference on the developments of this key area in aquaculture research
