u003cbu003eEPIGENETICS IN AQUACULTUREu003c/bu003e u003cpu003eu003cbu003e This essential guide will allow you to understand how new developments in our knowledge of epigenetic mechanisms and epigenetic inheritance can be applied to improve aquaculture production and aquatic resource management and conservation.u003c/bu003e u003cpu003eEpigenetics is the study of heritable changes in gene expression that are independent of alterations in the nucleotide sequence. It integrates genomic and environmental influences to shape the phenotype. Epigenetics is a field with particular relevance to aquaculture and aquatic organisms, since it underpins acclimatory responses to diverse and changing environments and inheritance of desired phenotypes. u003cpu003eu003ciu003eEpigenetics in Aquacultureu003c/iu003e provides a comprehensive introduction to epigenetics, epigenetic mechanisms, epigenetic inheritance, and research methods. It also provides the current state of the art on research and development on epigenetics in the major functions of aquatic organisms in the framework of aquaculture production. The fact that aquaculture is the fastest-growing sector of food production makes the book especially timely. u003cpu003eReaders will also find: u003culu003eu003cliu003eDetailed treatment of subjects including aquatic faunal reproduction, sex determination, growth regulation, nutritional programming, disease resistance, stress response and much moreu003c/liu003e u003cliu003eSurvey of current research lacunae and the projected future of the disciplineu003c/liu003e u003cliu003eAn authorial team of internationally renowned expertsu003c/liu003eu003c/ulu003e u003cpu003eu003ciu003eEpigenetics in Aquacultureu003c/iu003e is a valuable reference for researchers, biologists and advanced students in any area of marine science, oceanography, aquaculture, environmental science, and food production.
