Description
Description
Genetic Breeding and Aquaculture of Shellfish covers the global status, research advancements, and future trends in shellfish genetic breeding. Addressing the challenges and solutions related to shellfish genetic breeding and aquaculture, this book is structured into two main sections, genetic breeding and aquaculture. Early chapters summarize the basic biology and ecology of shellfish before delving into the theory and research of genetic breeding practices. Latter chapters apply theory to practice, offering practical guidance on mature and novel cultivation models and technical directions for stakeholders and technicians working in shellfish cultivation industries.
Readers will find this to be a resource that bridges scientific innovation with practical application to navigate the progress of shellfish aquaculture in the 21st century and contribute to the sustainable development of global aquaculture. It is an essential resource for students, academic researchers, industry scientists, and aquaculture technicians spanning shellfish research and aquaculture sectors.
