Aquaculture and Fish Health

Introduction Fish has an enormous value as the most frequent source of animal protein for the major part of the humans, especially in countries during rapid development in Asia and Africa. All fish species are a part of the local ecology and as such has a biological and environmental importance.

Transgenic fish and aquaculture

Transgenic fish species can be routinely produced by transferring foreign DNA into developing embryos via microinjection or electroporation. This technology offers an excellent opportunity for modifying or improving the genetic traits of commercially important Fishes, mollusks, and crustaceans for aquaculture. Studies have shown that administration of recombinant fish or mammalian growth hormon...

Towards Fish Lipid Nutrigenomics: Current State and Prospects for Fin-fish Aquaculture

Lipids are the predominant source of energy for fish. The mechanisms by which fish allocate energy from lipids, for metabolism, development, growth and reproduction are critical for understanding key life history strategies and transitions. Currently, the major lipid component in aquaculture diets is fish oil (FO), derived from wild capture fisheries that are exploited at their maximum sustaina...
