N2  - "The genetic improvement of fish for aquaculture and related fisheries is a field of research that has been immense advances in recent years. Yet there is no book that provides an accessible overview of the subject. This book aims to fill that gap and will be suitable for advanced students and researchers in animal genetics, fish biology and aquaculture. The contents include polyploidy, sex-reversal and breeding, gene mapping and commercial applications."--BOOK JACKET
