Description

New Trends in Methodological Approaches for Fish Biology provides an extensive guide on the novel tools and methodologies that are available to fish biologists across diverse sectors. The book combines a historical overview of each research area with detailed descriptions of emerging cellular and molecular tools. Sections explore recent advances in fish genomics, nutrition, development, reproduction, health, and welfare. Given the breadth of subject matter, this is an essential resource for students, academic researchers, aquaculturists and fisheries biologists, and resource managers alike. Written by a globally diverse team of experts, it is systematically structured for easy navigation by technical and nontechnical audiences. As research in this area is growing exponentially, reflecting the global economic significance of fisheries and aquaculture industries, fish as model research organisms, and aquatic ecosystem health, this book is a welcomed resource.
