Abstract

The role of aquaculture in augmenting fish production is now well recognized. The selection of productive strains for successful culture and subsequent domestication in different environmental conditions is faced as a major problem by the aquaculturist. A genetic approach to the problem has assumed great importance. Fish genetics has gained priority since, in other problems inherent with a aquaculturist viz., culture techniques, nutrition, controlled spawning, seed production and mortality control, considerable progress has been achieved. Moreover, knowledge of the genetic make-up and variability of the wild as well as farmed fish stocks is a prerequisite for the management of genetic resources for genetic improvement.
