Joseph Smartt Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell Science Date Published August 2001 Format Hardcover 224 pages | Handbook for Breeders The goldfish, Carassius auratus, a member of the Carp family, Cyprinidae, has been domesticated for many hundreds of years, as a food fish, a laboratory animal and now most important commercially, for ornamental and aesthetic purposes. There are now many scores of recognised varieties, which have been produced over time by selection processes and other methods described in detail in this stimulating book. Goldfish Varieties and Genetics covers all major aspects relating to goldfish breeding and genetics in a readable and user-friendly style. An account is presented of the domestication and evolution of the goldfish, including comprehensive details of the relevant genetic and biological principles involved in the development strategies and production of new varieties. The book also covers the subject of goldfish appreciation and the international significance of goldfish shows and show standards. The book concludes with an exciting forward look at the potential evolutionary future for the goldfish. This important and timely book brings together, for the first time, a wealth of scientific information, presented in a clear and understandable manner by Dr Joseph Smartt, who has many years' experience working in fish genetics and breeding.

Monte Westerfield Leonard I. Zon H. William Detrich III Publisher: Academic Press Date Published: First Edition September 24, 2009 Language: English Format: Paperback 584 Pages | Cell and Developmental Biology Product Description Due to its prolific reproduction and the external development of the transparent embryo, the zebrafish is the prime model for genetic and developmental studies, as well as research in genomics. While genetically distant from humans, nonetheless the vertebrate zebrafish has comparable organs and tissues which make it the model organism for study of vertebrate development. This book will provide overview of commonly used methods and a comprehensive collection of protocols describing the most powerful techniques. The methods and techniques in this volume were chosen by the editors of Methods in Cell Biology, whose goal was to provide fail-safe methods, tips, and "tricks of the trade" to experienced researchers and more junior members in the lab. * Provides busy researchers a quick reference for time-tested methods and protocols that really work. * Includes "quick tips and tricks" for each method. * Provides pragmatic wisdom to the non-specialist from experts in the field with years of experience with trial and error.

Dr. M.S. Shah Publisher: Mrs. Zinnatun Ara Shah Vice-chancellor’s Residence Khulna University Khulna-9208 Bangladesh Printed by: Sakib Offset Press 48/Khanjahan Ali Road Khulna Bangladesh Date Published Jun 2010 Format: Book 269+xiv | The book entitled “Genetics of Aquaculture and Fisheries Management” by Dr. M.S. Shah is published at the month of June 2010. This book is mainly based on basic and applied genetics for aquaculture and fisheries management at university level. As a result it is very helpful for the students, researchers and teachers of aquaculture, fisheries management as well as fisheries genetics. In the foreword of this book, AKM Aminul Haque, national professor of Bangladesh, mentions the subject matter covered in the book already great interest among the fisheries scientists and aquaculturists across the globe. The topics deals with in the book have very thoughtfully selected by the author and cover all the basic and applied aspects and issues of fish genetics. Though specially prepared for the undergraduate and post-graduate students of fisheries disciplines at the universities. In the prologue of this book, Author states the book is principally based on the syllabuses of fish genetics followed in the university undergraduate curricula. There is not, though, enough scope for inclusion in a text book of topics on regional context, however, in this book, as it is pointed out in the foregoing, efforts have been made to include chapters that could significantly meet the demand of a core text book in both vary basic and applied aspects of fish genetics for aquaculture and fisheries management taught at the undergraduate level curricula of fisheries students in the universities of Bangladesh. From the profile of the author of this book we know that Professor Dr. Md. Saifuddin Shah was born in 1951 in a respectable family in Dinajpur. Dr. Shah obtained his graduate with honours in Fisheries in 1972 and master in Fisheries Biology and Limnology in 1973 from the BAU. He obtained a fellowship in teaching in 1974 in the the department of Fisheries Biology and Limnology, letter he become lecture in 1076 and assistant professor in 1980. He had been away for doing Ph.D. in Fisheries Genetics under Commonwealth Scholarship program in the University of Wales, UK. He also been away to carryout post doctoral researches in fish genetics and biotechnology. Now he is working as a professor of FMRT discipline and Vice-chancellor of Khulna University. Dr. Shah had changes in his career between teaching and research management and this has greatly enabled him to attain a unique blend of experiences about academic and research management in fisheries in Bangladesh context. The present book is an obvious reflection of the splendid ideas and in-depth knowledge he has acquired during his long 36 years professional experiences, as a truly outstanding teacher and researcher in the field of fisheries. |
