The successful reproduction of cultured brood stock is essential to
the sustainable aquaculture of aquatic organisms. This book
describes recent advances in the field of finfish reproductive
biotechnology. The chapters in this volume are written by eminent
scientists who review the progress and assess the status of
biotechnology research that is applicable to the reproduction of
finfish species for aquaculture. A wide range of topics is included
starting with broodstock technologies such as broodstock genetics,
broodstock nutrition, environmental control of maturation and
impacts of stress on broodstock, gametes and progeny.
The volume includes technologies for induction of ovulation and
spermiation using synthetic hypothalamic peptides. Gamete
technologies which are described include cryopreservation,
chromosome set manipulation, disease prevention and control for
gametes and embryos and the development of transgenic fish with
enhanced production characteristics. Genetic and endocrine
technologies for the production of monosex male and female fish
stocks are also described.
The closing chapter summarizes the discussion of each topic at the
workshop, provides recommendations to industry and describes
priorities of research and development. Researchers as well as
teaching faculty in the aquaculture field will find this volume of
great value.
