Genetics in Sustainable Fisheries Management

* combines an understanding of the composition of biological units in fishery management with a discussion of the potential advantages and limitations of molecular genetic techniques for describing population structures. * discusses tools and arrangements for the management of genetic diversity. * elaborates the application of microsatellite DNA markers for monitoring genetic changes in fish. * gives lucid accounts of gene transfer, all-maternal inheritance, production of inbred lines, and impacts of hybrids on natural populations. * attempts to forge a partnership of sorts between the conservation of wild fish and on-going genetic manipulation.
