Recent advances in fish cytogenetics have enhanced the interest in
chromosome analysis in both fundamental (systematics and
comparative genomics among fishes and other vertebrate groups) and
applied (aquaculture, conservation and response to pollutants,
whole genome sequencing of model fish species) research. Although
the genomic material, the chromosomes, is basically the same in the
various organisms, experience has clearly shown that fish
chromosomes have to be handled with specific protocols. In
laboratories around the world, traditional cytogenetic techniques
and molecular cytogenetics have seen a vast improvement but the
technical details and protocols are often not published in
scientific journals because of constraints in format and size and
therefore they are not accessible to the whole scientific
community. These shortcomings are very well known to fish
cytogeneticists and the idea to prepare a specific manual was first
discussed during the first "Workshop of Fish Cytogenetics" held in
Concarneau (France), in 1992. Resulting from the above workshop, a
draft compilation of the techniques and protocols in fish
cytogenetics available at that time had been produced and
distributed privately, but never published. There does not exist,
at present, any published handbook or manual specifically dealing
with fish cytogenetics. This book fills this void by bringing
together and updating the main techniques so that the traditional
methods can be standardized. Moreover, this book includes novel
developments or improvements; some of the protocols provided here
are practically unknown to the scientific community and even now
unpublished.
