Preface.
Effects of stress on fish reproduction, gamete qual ity, and progeny (C.B. Schreck, W. Contreras-Sanchez, M.S. Fitzpatrick).
Effect of broodstock nutrition on reproductive performance of fish (M.S. Izquierdo, H. Fernandez-Palacios, A.G.J. Tacon). Genetics and broodstock management of coho salmon (J.M. Myers, P.O. Heggelund, G. Hudson, R.N. Iwamoto).
The environmental regulation of maturation in farmed finfish with special reference to th e role of photoperiod and melatonin (N. Bromage, M. Porter, C. Randall).
Endocrine manipulations of spawning in cultured fish: from hormones to genes (Y. Zohar, C.C. Mylonas).
Disease preventi on and control for gametes and embryos of fish and marine shrimp (J.A. B rock, R. Bullis).
Cryopreservation of finfish and shellfish gametes and embryos (N.-H. Chao, I.C. Liao).
The role of aqu atic biotechnology in aquaculture (C.L. Hew, G.L. Fletcher).
Genetic improvement of aquaculture finfish species by chromosome manipu lation techniques in Japan (K. Arai).
Endocrine sex control characteristics. Genetic and endocrine technologies for the production of monosex male and female fish stocks are also described. The closing chapter summarizes the discussion of each topic at the workshop, provides recommendations to industry and describes priorities of research and development. Researchers as well as teaching faculty in the aquaculture field will find this volume of great value.
