Scientific research in aquaculture has always represented a solid base for its sustainable development. Molecular research and biotechnology have been fields of study from the past decades with applications convenient to aquaculture and other animal sciences. Biotechnology conveys powerful tools for the sustainable development of aquaculture, fisheries, as well as the food industry. The growing demand for seafood and decreasing natural marine habitats have stimulated scientists to research the new techniques that biotechnology can upsurge the production of marine food products, and building aquaculture as an emerging field of animal research. Molecular Research allows scientists to identify and combine traits in fish and shellfish to increase productivity and improve quality. Scientists are investigating genes that will increase production of natural fish growth factors as well as the natural defense compounds marine organisms use to fight microbial infections. Modern biotechnology is already making important contributions and poses substantial challenges to aquaculture and fisheries development.Molecular Research in Aquaculture is intended to provide wide-ranging information of molecular research and its applications to the aquaculture industry that allows students and researchers in this area to grasp up-to-date information and understanding in this important field. It explores how novel, ground-breaking techniques are now being converted and used in this field focusing on molecular biological techniques, such as PCR, cloning, and hybridization, and their endorsement, provides a detailed look at molecular research and its specific applications. It also provides key reviews that look at the application of genetic, cellular, and molecular technologies to enable fish farmers to produce a more abundant, resilient, and healthier supply of seafood.

The basic principle of all molecular genetic methods is to employ inherited, discrete and stable markers to identify genotypes that characterize individuals, populations or species. Such genetic data can provide information ori the levels and distribution of genetic variability in relation to mating patterns, life history, population size, migration and environment. Although molecular tools have long been employed to address various questions in fisheries biology and management, their contributions to the field are sometimes unclear, and often controversial. Much of the initial impetus for the deployment of molecular markers arose from the desire to assess fish stock structure based on various interpretations of the stock concept. Although such studies have met with varying success, they continue to provide an impetus for the development of increasingly sensitive population discriminators, yielding information that can be valuable for both sustainable exploitation and the conservation of fish populations. In the last major synthesis of the subject, Ryman and Utter (1987) summarized progress and applications, though this was prior to the wide-scale adoption of DNA methodology. New sources of genetic markers and protocols are now available, in particular those that exploit the widely distributed and highly variable repeat sequences of DNA, and the amplification technique of the polymerase chain reaction.

The techniques of molecular biology offer a powerful means of investigating and controlling the genetic basis of mechanisms operating in living organisms. The development of these techniques in aquatic animals has now reached the stage where important questions relating to growth, development and adaptation to the environment can be addressed at the level of gene expression, and the introduction and expression of novel genes achieved. This volume presents some of the most exciting advances in this rapidly expanding area, with contributions on the evolution of adaptation to low temperature, adaptation to short-term fluctuations in temperature and salinity, gene expression during growth and development, myosin polymorphism and the generation of transgenic fish. As such, it will be of interest to all those working in the fields of marine and freshwater biology and also to those working in aquaculture.
