Environmental Risk Assessment of Genetically Modified Organisms Volume 3 : Methodologies for Transgenic Fish
Environmental Risk Assessment of Genetically Modified Organisms Volume 3 : Methodologies for Transgenic Fish
Edited by: A R Kapuscinski, K R Hayes, S Li & G DanaThe decline of many individual and wild fish stocks has commanded an increase in aquaculture production to meet the protein demands of a growing population. Alongside selective breeding schemes and expanding facilities, transgenic methods have received increasing attention as a potential factor in meeting these demands. With a focus on developing countries, this third text in the series provides detailed information on environmental biosafety policy and regulation and presents methodologies for assessing ecological risks associated with transgenic fish.
