Book excerpt: "Aquatic germplasm resources have enormous potential to contribute towards the economic well-being of the nation. The fisheries and aquaculture play a vital role in the social development by providing nutritional security and economic upliftment of fishers and fish farmers. General aspects of fish breeding, just like with fish keeping, include proper feeding and providing the right environment. The breeding environment needs to be maintained with proper water conditions and you need to watch for disease or other ailments. Aquaculture is the fastest growing food production industry, and the vast majority of aquaculture products are derived from Asia. The quantity of aquaculture products directly consumed is now greater than that resulting from conventional fisheries. The nutritional value of aquatic products compares favorably with meat from farm animals because they are rich in micronutrients and contain high levels of healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Compared with farm animals, fish are more efficient converters of energy and protein. If the aquaculture sector continues to expand at its current rate, production will reach 132 million tons of fish and shellfish and 43 million tons of seaweed in 2020. Future potential for marine aquaculture production can be estimated based on the length of coastline, and for freshwater aquaculture from available land area in different countries. In recent years there has been increasing research activity in genetics of farmed fish, especially relating to the salmonid species. This book covers all aspects of breeding genetics which are of direct or potential relevance to improving the efficiency of commercial production of farmed fish. This guide accompanies a comprehensive review of the ways in which molecular genetic technologies can contribute to the management of wild fisheries and a critical evaluation of the role of population, evolutionary and molecular genetics in the management of wild fisheries. This brings a wealth of information, providing a book which should be bought by all fish biologists, fisheries scientists, geneticists and aquarists."

Book excerpt: The advance of genetic sciences has led to a 'blue revolution' in the way we use aquatic biodiversity. By 2020, the world will be eating almost as much farmed as wild fish, marine bacteria could yield the cure for cancer and deep-sea bacteria may be exploited to gobble up oil spills. Science is moving ahead at a staggering speed, and the demand for genetic resources is growing rapidly - yet governance and policy lag far behind. This groundbreaking work is the first to look at the ownership, governance and trade in aquatic genetic resources. Blue Genes describes the growing demand for aquatic genetic resources and the desperate need to fill the policy vacuum about the management and conservation of aquatic biodiversity, which would help create a foundation for rules dictating access to, and use of, aquatic genetic resources. Special attention is paid to indigenous and local people having the right to access these resources and their role in managing and conserving aquatic biodiversity. The book concludes with policy recommendations specifically tailored to aquatic resources, with the use of six case studies from four continents to illustrate key issues.

This book was released on 2019-03-13 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aquatic genetic resources play a crucial role in contributing to global food security and nutrition, as well as to sustainable livelihoods. However, in various international fora, FAO Members have highlighted the limitations and constraints that they face in assessing their national capacities to use, manage and conserve such resources as well as in identifying and monitoring the resources used. The main issues are limited information, inadequate national capacities and expertise, and inadequate legislation and policy frameworks. In recognition of these needs, this framework is a guideline that FAO and FAO Members can use to evaluate the capacities, infrastructures and governance tools of a country regarding the sustainable use of aquatic genetic resources. It will be of use to fish farmers, hatchery people, fisher folk, aquatic genetic resource managers, policy-makers, decision-makers, donors, consumers and academia.

Download or read book Conservation of Fish and Shellfish Resources written by J. E. Thorpe and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 1995-06-20 with total page 229 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fish and shellfish comprise annually nearly 70-million tons of the world's edible animal protein. However, because of this demand, previously vast stocks have often been exhausted to the point of near extinction. The first book of its kind in the area of freshwater/marine biodiversity, this extensive work reviews the present status of genetic resource management, its needs and constraints, various intervening human factors such as pollution and overfishing, and problems posed by different species and life-styles. This discussion of the conservation of fish and shellfish resources is illustrated by four diverse groups: Atlantic salmon, cupped oysters, common and Chinese carp, and Nile tilapia. These results, produced by the collaboration of nine leading population and production geneticists, aquaculturists, and behavioral and developmental ecologists should become a fundamental resource useful to biologists, scientists and advisors exploring current issues in the fishery sciences.

This book was released on 2021-10-07 with total page 69 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At its Fifteenth Regular Session, the Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture endorsed the preparation of a thematic study on the genetic resources of freshwater aquatic macrophytes (FAMs) of relevance for food and agriculture. This is an initiative in support of the preparation of the Report on The State of the World’s Aquatic Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (http://www.fao.org/3/CA0454EN/ca0454en.pdf). The purpose of this study is to enhance the understanding of the relevance of FAMs for food security and human well-being. The cultivation of FAMs for food production, as well as for non-food uses, has long been unrecognized and underreported in most national and international agriculture and aquaculture statistics, including statistics regularly reported to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) by Member Countries. However, it is well known that cultivated FAMs play a pivotal role in food security in many countries, especially in the developing countries of South and Southeast Asia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The development of the Report was initiated in response to a call from the members of the FAO Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture to respond to the urgent need to build global knowledge and raise awareness on the main needs and challenges regarding the conservation, sustainable use and development of aquatic genetic resources. This global assessment is specifically focused on farmed aquatic species and their wild relatives within national jurisdiction. For the compilation of the SoW-AqGR, FAO invited countries to nominate National Focal Points having the role to coordinate the gathering of information as well as prepare and submit their Country Reports. The Country Reports are based on the Questionnaire for the Preparation of Country Reports. Overall 92 countries responded to the questionnaire and submitted their information. These responding countries cover over 96 percent of global aquaculture production and over 80 percent of global capture fisheries production and include the top 11 major aquaculture producing countries."--Publisher's description.
