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. 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 combines a historical overview of each research area with detailed descriptions of emerging cellular and molecular tools. Written by a globally diverse team of experts, New Trends in Methodological Approaches for Fish Biology is systematically structured for easy navigation by technical and nontechnical audiences. It explores 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.
- Covers the latest developments in fish genomics, nutrition, development, reproduction, toxicology, health, and welfare
- Discusses the history of each approach before delving into novel tools and methodologies
- Includes case studies to showcase tricks of the trade for successful application of these tools
