Study Notes
Fish Biotechnology - Introduction
- Fish are cold-blooded vertebrates that live in water and have fins.
- Many fish live in lakes and oceans.
- Biotechnology is any technological application that uses biological systems, living organisms, or their derivatives, to make or modify products or processes for specific use.
- Aquaculture is the farming of aquatic organisms. It's also sometimes called aquafarming.
- Aquafarming is the controlled or semi-controlled propagation of aquatic organisms.
- Fish farming raises fish for personal use or profit, sometimes called fish culture. This commonly involves tanks or enclosures where fish are raised for food.
Aquaculture Applications of Biotechnology
- Biotechnology in aquaculture can help with control of reproduction.
- Biotechnology can also improve growth enhancement.
- Biotechnology assists in genetic characterization.
- Control of diseases in aquaculture is an application of biotechnology.
- Metabolic engineering is another biotechnological application.
- Transgenesis (genetic modification) is another possible application.
