GENETICS IN AQUACULTURE III

Edited by: Gjedrem, T. 1990

The largely unmapped realm of applied genetics promises to be the greatest reservoir of untapped potential in commercial aquaculture. This compendium provides a unifying "tour de force" for the body of research currently underway in the following areas: gene manipulation in farmed fish, immunogenetics, mass selection for growth and domestication, the generation of homozygous populations, the phenotypic performance of transgenic offspring, and the environmental tolerance thresholds found in new species. This work is recognized as being central to the further evolution of aquaculture. Hardbound, 340 pages, 64 illustrations, 65 tables.

Edited by: Gail, G., Busack, C. 1986

The world’s most prominent geneticists relate their most important findings in this valuable treatise. From the symposium that established aquaculture genetics. The volume presents eight sections on the science of genetics applied to problems in aquaculture breeding, such as selection procedures, genotype-environment, interaction, selection response, hybridization, genetic marking, and triploidy. Recommended for genetic practitioners. Hardbound, 386 pages, 180 illustrations, 117 tables.

B-GENE-EAO Price $185.00

Purdom, C.E. 1993

A stimulating and complete study of fish genetics and breeding, bringing a lifetime of interest into framework accessible to the aquaculture community. This exciting new text details all aspects for the cultivated and ornamental major species, including Tilapia, Salmonids, Carp, Goldfish and Koi. Includes: sexuality and reproduction, Mendelian inheritance - color, body and fin shape, and quantitative metrical characteristics, population studies, chromosomes of fish, sex determination, hybridization, atypical sexuality, control of sex ratio, chromosome engineering, and gene manipulation. The author defends the use of genetic engineering if used in a functionally practical way. It is the applied side of fish genetics that sets this book apart from others. Our best recommendation. Hardbound, 277 pages, 74 illustrations, 39 tables, 80 figures.

B-GENE-FB Price $88.00

The long awaited up-dated new edition of the popular text. At last, a thoroughly professional and practical text on genetics for fish hatchery managers. "This book makes genetics and basic ideas of animal breeding accessible to fish farmers, hatchery managers, or anyone else who raises fish". Commences with a Review of Basic Genetics and ends with Genetics of Broodstock Management. The business of qualitative and quantitative genetics are laid out in plain language. Our best recommendation for advancement of aquatic organism breeding practices. Hardbound, 299 pages, 200 illustrations, 12 tables.

B-GENE-FHM Price $119.00

The first book of it’s kind. With a forward by the eminent reproductive physiologist Prof. E.M. Donaldson (Fisheries and Oceans, Canada - West Vancouver Laboratory), this concise monograph summarizes the current knowledge of the reproductive physiology of fin fishes. The style of this manual is clearly, "nonacademic", and addresses the manipulation of reproduction by hormonal and environmental changes in cultivated edible, warm water fishes. Specifically, the subjects of induced breeding utilizing advanced hormone technology: GNRH and dopamine suppressors, LH-RH, HCG, Pituitary extracts of Carp and Salmon, hormonal implant techniques, environmental manipulation to induce breeding, conservation of fish genetic resources and techniques for marking and tagging broodstock. The text includes actual case histories of hormonal and environmental induced breeding. Extrapolation to aquarium fish breeding is implicit. The most important account of induced breeding and maturation in warm water fin fish. Softbound, 145 pages, 11 illustrations, excellent bibliographies.

B-INDU-BTF Price $35.00

Proper control of reproductive development and time of spawning is critical to the success and efficiency of intensive aquaculture systems. This important text provides, for the first time, a comprehensive analysis of control mechanisms of reproduction in salmonids, carps, turbot, sole, sea bass, and dab. Included are special sections on methods to manipulate photoperiod and temperature in order to initiate artificial schedules for spawning. Six specialists provide a comprehensive treatise on theory and practical application, which are of great value to aquaculturists, biologists, environmental scientists, and health specialists. Hardbound, 254 pages, 87 illustrations.
