Description

Devoted exclusively to gene transfer in aquatic organisms, including finfish and shellfish, this work offers a specialized outlook on biotechnological applications of this research and discusses the future possibilities for the use of gene transfer. The book is organized into three sections: transgenic model systems; the impact of new technologies in modern aquaculture; and the application of gene transfer in aquatic organisms.

Table of Contents

  • Gene transfer in aquatic organisms in the framework of modern biotechnology
  • genetic engineering of finfish and shellfish
  • regulatory elements to design chimeric constructs for gene transfer in fish
  • transgenic fish technology - basic principle and its application in basic and applied research
  • efficiency of gene transfer and promoter specificity assayed by transient gene expression in zebrafish
  • gene transfer in tilapia for accelerated growth - from the laboratory to the consumer
  • gene transfer in shellfish and algae
  • gene transfer in the sea urchin.
