Epigenetics is a field with particular relevance to aquaculture and aquatic organisms, since it underpins acclimatory responses to diverse and changing environments and inheritance of desired phenotypes.  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEpigenetics in Aquaculture\u003c\/i\u003e provides a comprehensive introduction to epigenetics, epigenetic mechanisms, epigenetic inheritance, and research methods. It also provides the current state of the art on research and development on epigenetics in the major functions of aquatic organisms in the framework of aquaculture production. The fact that aquaculture is the fastest-growing sector of food production makes the book especially timely. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eReaders will also find:  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetailed treatment of subjects including aquatic faunal reproduction, sex determination, growth regulation, nutritional programming, disease resistance, stress response and much more\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSurvey of current research lacunae and the projected future of the discipline\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAn authorial team of internationally renowned experts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEpigenetics in Aquaculture\u003c\/i\u003e is a valuable reference for researchers, biologists and advanced students in any area of marine science, oceanography, aquaculture, environmental science, and food production.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47989150023909,"sku":"NP9781119821915","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781119821915.jpg?v=1761782999","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/epigenetics-in-aquaculture-isbn-9781119821915","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
