Title Genetic Selection in Mariculture

Subject Mariculture
Fish Genetics
 
Description The applications of molecular techniques in aquaculture are promising, but still some what uncertain.
While high costs seem to be the only hindrance for widespread application of DNA markers for identification
purposes and marker assisted selection, the situation regarding commercial use of genetically modified fish is
more complex. Although the potential importance of gene transfer technology is large, a major concern relates
to the possible impact, which release or accidental escapes of gene-modified individuals may have on natural
ecosystems. Other technologies are also rapidly emerging which are either being used or are likely to be used
in the future in the aquaculture species. For example micro-array technology has the potential to contribute
very large amounts of information on the genes and pathways of genes, which affect the economic traits in
aquaculture species.
