The large amount of information on fish reproduction available is
not always readily accessible to all interested parties. Written to
appeal to aquaculturalists, conservation managers, and scientific
researchers, Methods in Reproductive Aquaculture provides an
overview of available techniques and addresses ways to improve
depleted stocks of endangered fish and other species. The book
focuses on gamete quality and management, exploring new objectives
and areas of application and research, and new tools to deal with
some aspects in reproduction of aquatic species. It begins with an
examination of basic methods and techniques for gamete extraction,
mainly sperm collection and egg stripping in different species,
then describes techniques of spawning stimulation in males and
females. The volume then highlights sperm and egg quality
evaluation and considers sperm analysis from a practical broodstock
management point of view and in the selection of appropriate
breeders. The book goes on to discuss techniques used for
artificial fertilization and the procedures for obtaining modified
offspring. It introduces cryopreservation procedures for sperm,
oocytes, and embryos, then discusses the materials and facilities
required for gamete preparation and freezing-thawing procedures.
The book concludes with an extensive section detailing sperm
cryopreservation protocols for fifty-six marine and freshwater
species. Unique in its focus on both marine and freshwater
aquaculture of fishes, the book provides information on endangered,
highly profitable species for aquaculture or fisheries and species
with high potential in laboratory research. Presenting the
available information in an easily understandable way, this is not
merely a techniques book, but also a complete guide to fish
reproduction, gamete quality, and management.
