Genomics in Aquaculture is a concise, must-have reference that describes current advances within the field of genomics and their applications to aquaculture. Written in an accessible manner for anyone—non-specialists to experts alike—this book provides in-depth coverage of genomics spanning from genome sequencing, to transcriptomics and proteomics. It provides, for ease of learning, examples from key species most relevant to current intensive aquaculture practice.

Its coverage of minority species that have a specific biological interest (e.g., Pleuronectiformes) makes this book useful for countries that are developing such species. It is a robust, practical resource that covers foundational, functional, and applied aspects of genomics in aquaculture, presenting the most current information in a field of research that is rapidly growing.

Dr Simon MacKenzie is Senior Lecturer in Marine Biotechnology at the Institute of Aquaculture, University of Stirling, UK. He is a known expert in the field of evolutionary biology and nanotechnology toward improving health in aquaculture and whole genome sequencing. He has published ~60 articles and has contributed to book chapters. Dr Sissel Jentoft (CEES, University of Oslo, Norway) PhD (Dr. scient) in fish physiology/molecular biology, from Norwegian University of Life Sciences (UMB). : Project Coordinator at the Centre for Ecological and Evolutionary Synthesis (CEES) Cod Genome Project ; Contributed to over 19 book chapters and published ~50 research articles.
