About the Authors
  • The techniques of molecular biology offer a powerful means of investigating and controlling the genetic basis of mechanisms operating in living organisms. Genetic research on aquatic animals can reveal important information relating to growth, development, adaptation to the environment, and the transfer of novel genes. This volume presents some of the most exciting advances in this rapidly expanding area, and contains 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.

    • Unparalleled - presents the first findings of a new and rapidly expanding field
    • Broad market - of interest to applied and basic researchers in marine biology and freshwater biology and also to those working in aquaculture
    • Authoritative - another addition to this well-known and well-respected series

    Reviews & endorsements

    "...the book is an excellent mixture of current methods and trends in molecular biology using aquatic organisms" Duane R. Schultz, Bulletin of Marine Science

    "...this short collection of selcted topics provides a substantial review of this field of scientific endeavor....these presentations, covering important methods and specific aquatic animal models, will be most appreciated by individuals not directly associated with this active research area. Each of the contributors has provided a focused summary of the important data and questions that are of concern within each of these areas of gene expression." John P. Harrington, Estuaries
