Status of Genetically Modified (transgenic) Fish: Research and Application
نویسنده
چکیده
There are many ways to genetically modify fish including inbreeding, gynogenesis, androgenesis, selection, intraspecific crossbreeding, interspecific hybridization, polyploidy, sex reversal and breeding, nuclear transplantation and transgenesis. Cloned populations have been produced via gynogenesis and androgenesis (Dunham 2004 in press), but direct cloning of an individual fish of interest has not yet been accomplished. This review will focus upon transgenic fish.

Due to population growth in the coming years, adequate food supply is the world's biggest problem, and it seems that one way to meet this need is to produce transgenic products. Transgenic products are created using modern technology to create or enhance a desirable property, such as increasing resistance to weeds or improving nutritional properties. The advantages of transgenic products includ...
