The status of fish genetics and breeding towards sustainable aquaculture in Nigeria
This paper, fish genetics and breeding in Nigeria addresses the application of genetics and breeding to fish farming with the view to enhanced aquaculture production in Nigeria. This production technique is not limited to the use of conventional breeding programs nor is it necessary to go through the basic developmental steps of selection and isolation that lead to the domestication and diversification of livestock and crops over thousands of years. With modern molecular genetic techniques and induced breeding, it is now possible to develop and create new fish species .
