Genetics and Evolution of Aquatic Organisms

This volume brings together, for the first time, a wide range of up-to-the-minute and traditional techniques and approaches to the study of genetics of organisms living in freshwater or marine habitats. Carefully edited chapters are headed by broad review articles against which are set a number of more specific experience papers which demonstrate the breadth and range of approaches currently being undertaken.

Preface. Speciation and wide scale genetic differentiation. Gene flow and population structure. Heterozygosity, heterosis 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.
