Book excerpt: Studies on transgenic fish, in contrast to mammals, are still in their infancy. However, it is evident that such fish will not only be of considerable economic benefit to aquaculture but will enable scientists to make quantum leaps in their understanding of the physiological and biochemical mechanisms unique to fish, and of the developmental biology of vertebrates in general.The potential of transgenic fish for research and industrial development is beginning to be widely recognized. This timely volume encompasses the full spectrum of current research on transgenic fish. It will be valuable to many scientists who intend to explore the merits of the technology for the first time.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The production of appropriate genetically modified organisms (GMOs) offer considerable opportunities for more efficient and more effective aquaculture across a wide range of species. Although this potential is being realized in crop production with over 60 million hectares under cultivation, there has been no commercial use of GMOs in aquaculture. The circular reviews the nature of GMOs, the range of aquatic species in which GMOs have been produced, the methods and target genes employed, the benefits to aquaculture, the problems attached to use of GMOs and the regulatory and other social frameworks surrounding them, and concludes with a set of recommendations aimed at best practice.--Publisher's description.

Download or read book Transcriptional Regulation of the Antifreeze Protein Genes in Winter Flounder written by Ming Megan Miao and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winter flounder, 'Pleuronectes americanus', produces two types of antifreeze proteins (AFPs) to avoid freezing during winter. The expression of the liver-type AFPs (wflAFPs) and skin-type AFPs (wfsAFPs) are differentially regulated by environmental factors and growth hormone. The only intron of the wflAFP gene acts as a liver-specific enhancer and a more refined core sequence Element B interacts with a liver-enriched transcription factor C/EBPÃ and a presumptive antifreeze enhancer-binding protein (AEP). In the present study, the specific binding of C/EBPÃ to Element B and the presumptive AEP was confirmed in both rat and flounder liver extracts. Element B of the wflAFP gene was shown to be the core enhancer. Mutations of Element B significantly decreased the enhancer activity of the wflAFP gene intron. Recombinant C/EBPÃ interacted specifically with Element B and transactivated the wflAFP gene expression, indicating its pivotal role in the liver-specific expression of wflAFP gene. Also, C/EBP proteins were shown to be present in winter flounder. Moreover, IGF-1 and PI3-kinase were found to inhibit the wflAFP gene expression, suggesting their involvement in wflAFP gene regulation. In addition, the intron of a wfsAFP gene was shown to be a ubiquitous enhancer. Element S, the corresponding region of Element B of the wfsAFP intron, did not interact with C/EBPÃ, while it still bound to the antifreeze enhancer-binding protein. As expected, a TA insertion in Element B of the wflAFP gene intron destroyed its liver-specific enhancer activity. Finally, the identity of rat AEP was revealed as a novel protein with 988 residues in length. It is homologous to Smubp-2/Rip-1 with DNA-binding domain and putative helicase motifs. AEP interacted specifically with Element B and was necessary for the transactivation of the enhancer of the wflAFP gene. Furthermore, AEP was shown to be widely expressed in various tissues and its homologous gene was present in flounder. The present study provides a mechanism(s) by which the differential tissue distribution of the wflAFP and wfsAFP gene expression can be achieved. A model is proposed integrating the involvement of GH and IGF-1 signaling pathway as well as the roles of C/EBPÃ and AEP in mediating the seasonal and hormonal regulation of the AFP genes in winter flounder.

Download or read book Aquaculture and Fisheries Biotechnology written by Rex A. Dunham and published by CABI. This book was released on 2023-02-28 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The genetic improvement of fish for aquaculture and related fisheries has seen huge advances over recent years. Building upon the previous two editions of Aquaculture and Fisheries Biotechnology: Genetic Approaches, this 3rd edition offers a presentation of traditional selective breeding, modern genetic biotechnology, genomics, gene transfer and gene editing, and the latest developments in genetic biotechnology such as epigenetics, xenogenesis and genome-wide association study coupled with commercial application, the impact of government regulation and expectations for the future. It provides a firm grounding in relevant aspects of classical genetics, before focusing on particular aspects such as sex reversal and breeding as applied in aquaculture and fisheries. It also explores how more recent molecular genetics, genomics and biotechnology techniques can be used and combined in improvement programmes for fish and aquaculture species. A glossary explains the latest terminology used in biotechnology and genetics. This book will be useful for research scientists and students in marine biotechnology, aquaculture biotechnology, and fish genetics and breeding.
Download or read book GMOs written by Anurag Chaurasia and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-30 with total page 667 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers a broad spectrum of topics related to GMOs and allied new gene-based technologies, biodiversity, and ecosystem processes, bringing together the contributions of researchers and regulators from around the world. The aim is to offer a clear view of the benefits and effects of genetically modified crops, insects, and other animals on the soil microbiome and ecological processes. Contributors examine issues related to the development of risk assessment procedures and regulations designed to maximize benefits while minimizing risks. Beyond the scientific challenges of GMOs, the book explores the broad and contentious terrain of ethical considerations. The contributors discuss such questions as the unintended, possibly unforeseen, consequences of releasing GMOs into ecosystems, and the likelihood that the full effects of GMOs could take years, even decades, of close monitoring to become evident. The importance of developing a precautionary approach is stressed. The final chapter describes the critical issues of governance and regulation of new and emerging gene-based technologies, as nations grapple with the consequences of adopting the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety (CPB). The volume includes an extensive Annex which outlines legal perspectives on the state of GMO governance around the world, with more than 20 examples from nations in Africa, South and Central America, Asia, Australasia, and Europe.

Download or read book Selective Breeding in Aquaculture an Introduction written by Trygve Gjedrem and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-03-17 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The foundation of quantitative genetics theory was developed during the last century and facilitated many successful breeding programs for cultivated plants and t- restrial livestock. The results have been almost universally impressive, and today nearly all agricultural production utilises genetically improved seed and animals. The aquaculture industry can learn a great deal from these experiences, because the basic theory behind selective breeding is the same for all species. The ?rst published selection experiments in aquaculture started in 1920 s to improve disease resistance in ?sh, but it was not before the 1970 s that the ?rst family based breeding program was initiated for Atlantic salmon in Norway by AKVAFORSK. Unfortunately, the subsequent implementation of selective breeding on a wider scale in aquaculture has been slow, and despite the dramatic gains that have been demonstrated in a number of species, less than 10% of world aquaculture production is currently based on improved stocks. For the long-term sustainability of aquaculture production, there is an urgent need to develop and implement e- cient breeding programs for all species under commercial production. The ability for aquaculture to successfully meet the demands of an ever increasing human p- ulation, will rely on genetically improved stocks that utilise feed, water and land resources in an ef?cient way. Technological advances like genome sequences of aquaculture species, and advanced molecular methods means that there are new and exciting prospects for building on these well-established methods into the future.
