Genomics in Aquaculture delivers a comprehensive, cutting-edge exploration of how modern genomic technologies are transforming fish and shellfish breeding, disease resistance, and sustainable aquaculture production. Edited by prominent aquatic scientists Simon MacKenzie and Sissel Jentoft, this authoritative volume bridges high-throughput sequencing technologies with practical aquatic animal management. It serves as an essential, indispensable reference for aquaculture researchers, geneticists, fish farm managers, and biotechnology students.
Key Topics Covered:
- Genomic Selection & Breeding: Advanced methodologies for implementing marker-assisted selection and genomic breeding values to enhance desirable production traits.
- Disease Resistance & Immunology: Molecular insights into host-pathogen interactions, immune system genomics, and disease mitigation in farmed aquatic species.
- Transcriptomics & Epigenetics: Examination of gene expression profiles, environmental adaptation, and epigenetic responses to stress and nutrition.
- Next-Generation Sequencing Applications: Practical utilization of high-throughput sequencing platforms for genome assembly, mapping, and population genetics.
