    Abstract
    The rapid growth of aquaculture has significantly benefited from both conventional technologies and biotechnologies and it is expected that advanced biotechnologies will further help the sector in meeting the global demand for aquatic food in the coming decades. While biotechnologies are being applied in fisheries management, their use is very limited compared with aquaculture. The four main areas where biotechnologies have been used in aquaculture and fisheries include genetic improvement and control of reproduction; biosecurity and disease control; environmental management and bioremediation; and biodiversity conservation and fisheries management. One of the main reasons for the success of aquaculture is the diversity of species currently in culture (over 230) and the genetic diversity that can be exploited through captive breeding and domestication. However, the rearing of many newly cultured species is to a large extent based on juveniles and/or broodstock obtained from .....
