Technocrats in Fisheries (Volume - 1)

Technocrats in Fisheries has been written to grasp the reader with the knowledge of Fisheries and Aquaculture. It answers various important questions concerning fishery stocks and catches, such as-How much is being wished in the world's Oceans and seas? What are the trends in open sea catches? How the Cytogenetices works ? What is the importance of GIS? The answering of these and more such questions will provide not just an understanding of the need for increased marine ecosystem conservation and aquaculture but also an insight into the market forces of demand and supply, how it is currently being sustained and what implications it projects for the future. Henceforth, this book is not a mere compilation of statistics but also identifies and presents key issues facing the fishery industry.

This text delves into the science of cytogenetics, charting its progression from early chromosome observations to contemporary molecular techniques. With a foundation in genetic and cytological principles, it covers the structure, function, and inheritance role of chromosomes in organisms, with a special focus on fish cytogenetics. The book reviews techniques like colchicine treatment and FISH (fluorescence in situ hybridization), and discusses polyploidy, chromosomal anomalies, and the differentiation between euchromatin and heterochromatin. Enhanced by historical context, it bridges classical concepts with the latest cytogenetic advances, making it a valuable guide for advanced studies in genetics and cell biology.
