Molecular markers in fisheries and aquaculture

Molecular markers has a wide range of applications.For example,it can be used to study the relationship between an inherited disease and its genetic cause, measure the genomic response to selection in livestock, genealogical DNA testing for genetic genealogy to determine genetic distance between individuals or populations,and even fisheries and aquaculture.

A research from scientific research publishing mainly discusses 5 applications of Molecular markers in fisheries and aquaculture: 1) Species Identification 2) Genetic variation and population structure study in natural populations 3) Comparison between wild and hatchery populations 4) Assessment of demographic bottleneck in natural population 5) Propagation assisted rehabilitation programmes.The limitations are also discussed.
