An understanding of fish genetics and fish breeding is of vital importance to all those involved with fish farming, fisheries, fish breeding and the aquatic environment. This book represents a current review of all the principles of the genetics and breeding of fish. It examines the genetics behind breeding programmes in farmed fish such as carp, trout, salmon and tilapia as well as those of exotic aquarium fish such as koi and goldfish. The genetic implications of fishing activity on fish populations is discussed and the subject of biotechnological systems for introducing new genes into fish is reviewed. There is considerable commercial importance related to a sound understanding of the implications of many of the factors discussed within this book.

Industry Reviews

a valuable account of recent developments within a rich and informative historical setting...a...lucid and up-to-date synthesis of ideas...Colin Purdom's book will prove a valuable source, not only to fish and fishery biologists, but also to those who are less familiar with genetic prinicples and proceedures. A volume that proceeds so effectively along the road to integrate genetics and fish biology is to be warmly welcomed - Journal of Fish Biology; The author has drawn together a wealth of information, providing a book which should be bought by all fish biologists, fisheries scientists, geneticists and aquarists - Agro Lavoisier; ...very informative...highly recommended to student and expert - Aquaculture; I will use this book. I think others will too. - The progressive Fish-Culturist; ...a timely and much-needed publication...in this compact book, he [Purdom] has neatly provided a precise and comprehensive account of the wide spectrium of research currently being carried out both for gaining an understanding of the principles of fish genetics and for their ultimate application(s) for higher productivity and disease resistance - Journal of Genetics
