Aquaculture Genome Technologies bridges the gap between basic genomic technology and how to systematically apply this information to aquaculture genomes.

This book provides a tour through the aquaculture genomics process providing basic principles and detailed methodologies as to how to use genome technologies to study the genomes of aquaculture species.
