Abstract/Description: | Globally, as on today, only about two million species have been identified, while the actual number of species is estimated to be between 10 and 30 million. This enormous treasured biodiversity is an essential provider of ecosystem goods and services to the mankind. Aquatic germplasm resources of India comprise whole lot of organisms, both animals and plants origin, it is mainly the finfish and shellfish species which have actual and potential value for both capture fisheries and aquaculture. These aquatic resources possess enormous potential to contribute towards the economic well-being of the nation, besides contributing to genetic improvement of farmed aquatic species. However, in spite of the important role that the biodiversity plays in our lives, all species that together comprise biodiversity have been facing huge risks, especially due to a number of anthropogenic factors. In the present paper an attempt has been made to review the approaches, modern genetic tools and modus operandi which are relevant to the management of the resources and to outline the future opportunities in research efforts for sustainable fish production to address the food concerns of the country. |
