This straightforward, easily understandable primer details the
principles and practices of genetics as they relate to fish
farming. After reviewing basic genetic principles and the genetics
of sex determination, this book focuses on the genetics of
qualitative traits and profiles selection programs that produce
true breeding populations. It also considers quantitative issues,
broodstock management, genetic engineering, chromosomal
manipulation and electrophoresis.
You?ll learn strategies and tactics that can be used to improve
production and efficiency in the propagation of fingerlings in
fertilized hatchery ponds. This book covers the production of a
variety of fish, as well as shrimp, and provides a framework for a
systems approach to management decisionmaking. Chapters present
information that can be used to improve ecological efficiencies and
the economics of production. Strategies and Tactics for Management
of Fertilized Hatchery Ponds explains the systems approach to
management. In the future, the most effective hatchery managers
will base management decisions on information that is site- and
pond-specific. This book provides you with needed information on
organic and inorganic fertilizer materials; dynamics of water
quality; pond filling schedules; biological control of problem
organisms; fingerling production of walleye, striped bass,
paddlefish, largemouth bass, and others. Readers find solutions to
several common problems and learn about the processes needed to
solve others.Chapters help answer questions important to the
success and effectiveness of management of fertilized hatchery
ponds such as: What kinds or sources of nutrients should be
purchased? How much time and water are needed before larvae are
stocked? What density and age of fish should be stocked? How can a
satisfactory quality of larvae and environmental variables be
achieved so that fish survive stocking and initiate normal feeding
and growth? Has the initial survival and growth been satisfactory,
or should the pond be drawn down and restocked? What kind and how
much fertilizer should be added to a given pond?This book provides
you with information essential for making hatchery ponds as
effective and efficient as possible. Whether you?re a fish hatchery
manager, student of aquaculture, or agency or academic researcher
involved in hatchery management, you will find Strategies and
Tactics for Management of Fertilized Hatchery Ponds an
indispensable guide for your daily work and studies.
