About this book

Brings together a wide range of techniques and approaches to the study of genetics of organisms living in freshwater or marine habitats. Contents: Speciation and wide scale genetic differentiation. Gene flow and population structure. Heterozygosity, herosis and adaptation. DNA technology and genetics of aquatic invertebrates. DNA technology and phylogeny of fish. Genetics of aquatic clonal organisms. Chromosomal genetics. Genetics and pollution. Genetics and aquaculture.
