Although aquaculture as a biological production system has a long history, systematic and efficient breeding programs to improve economically important traits in the farmed species have rarely been utilized until recently, except for salmonid species. The text Selection and Breeding Programmes in Aquaculture provides a basic introduction to selective breeding in aquatic species, and describes the concepts behind establishing and running successful breeding programs. The objective of first chapter is to identify target species and strains from the macroalgal genus Ulva for bioremediation of land-based aquaculture facilities. The purpose of second chapter to show that fish can actually be selected for their ability to adapt to a diet totally free of marine ingredients. Genetic identification of F1 and post-F1 serrasalmid juvenile hybrids in Brazilian aquaculture has been discussed in third chapter. Fourth chapter deals with the origin of Chinese goldfish and sequential loss of genetic diversity accompanies new breeds. The aim of fifth chapter is to estimate the level of inbreeding in the original wild population that is P. taeniatus from the Moliwe River in Cameroon. The design, loading, and water quality in recirculating systems for Atlantic salmon have been presented in sixth chapter. The development of freshwater native species with aquacultural potential has been introduced in seventh chapter. Impacts of aquaculture on habitats and best management practices have been discussed in eighth chapter. In ninth chapter, we describe common, whole-body gene transcriptional responses to early F. psychrophilum infection and potential differences associated with the innate response between genetic lines. The aim of tenth chapter is to investigate the variation of the diet breadth in relation to space and season and the trophic plasticity behavior in order to better document the trophic structure dynamic. Eleventh chapter focuses on implementation and accuracy of genomic selection. In twelfth chapter, we discuss on the basics of molecular genetics and their application along with their limitations in fisheries and aquaculture studies. The aim of thirteenth chapter is to develop a new selection scheme that combines communal rearing of families, pre-selection of candidates, DNA pooling and genomic selection and makes multi-trait selection possible in aquaculture selection schemes without keeping families separately until individual tagging is possible. The purpose of fourteenth chapter is to conduct genetic evaluation of the breeding program for common carp after four generations of selection in order to estimate genetic parameters and selection response for body weight and survival. In fifteenth chapter, we focus on some of the possible applications of epigenetic knowledge to the improvement of aquaculture. A review on advances by selective breeding for aquatic species has been introduced in sixteenth chapter. Seventeenth chapter explores the advantages of using phenotypic and genome-wide information when constructing base populations for aquaculture breeding programs. Applications in the search for genomic selection signatures in fish have been focused in last chapter.
