Genetics is an important and fast-developing discipline within the science and practice of aquaculture. Development and use of a high performance stock is key to achieving production efficiency and profitability. Although aquaculturists grasp the importance of genetics, most struggle to understand how it might be applied to improve their own production stocks. The struggle is made all the more difficult by the pace and technical complexity of recent developments in aquaculture biotechnology. Hence, many students and practitioners would appreciate a concise and current explanation of genetics as applied to aquaculture. To meet this need, Greg Lutz of Louisiana State University and Fishing News Books have recently published Practical Genetics for Aquaculture.
