Aquaculture originates from ancient Chinese wisdom, and is considered the most efficient food-producing industry. About 70 years ago, New China proposed an industrial approach to fish production made a policy decision begin modern aquaculture development. As one of lucky persons since early 1980s, I have committed my scholarly career studies on genetics breeding biotechnology polyploid gibel carp (Carassius gibelio). Here, several significant recent innovations, such as proposition amphitriploid concept, association ploidy changes with reproduction transition, finding unique ameio-fusiongenesis mode, establishment controllable fertility approach, creation intermuscular bone-free mutants, well recreation desirable goldfish, are introduced emphasized active participant these innovations. Additionally, some innovations contributions also highlighted in other aspects including feed development, disease control, facilities equipment upgrading, paradigm mode changes. This comprehensive synthesis wisdom seeks provide valuable insights into field historical basis.

The global expansion of aquaculture has driven significant technological advancements, including raceways, Integrated Multitrophic Aquaculture (IMTA) and marine offshore cages. However, unregulated escapees pose a severe threat to aquatic biodiversity, acting as potential time bomb for the entire ecosystem. Addressing this issue requires comprehensive understanding impact unintentional on ecosystems, particularly in India riparian East African countries (Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania). Using an exploratory research design drawing from various peer-reviewed sources, study outlines dynamic growth these countries, identifies high-impact escape incidents, correlates risks remedies with cases, especially regions such Norway, Scotland, Ireland, Colombia, United States, where serious incidents have been reported. categorizes development trends, discusses mechanisms escapee impact, proposes remedies, assesses methods inferential strength, highlights gaps existing literature. revealed complex ecological shifts caused by invasive non-native fish species, affecting predation, competition, genetic diversity.

This chapter explores the applications of population genetics in genetic improvement and biodiversity conservation fish species. It traces evolution genetics, from earliest measurements variation at allozyme loci to current era genomics, highlighting technological advances that have revolutionized field. The emphasizes importance understanding both historical recent processes shaped patterns diversity, particularly face declines driven by anthropogenic activities climate change. Various molecular techniques used assess diversity are analyzed, including traditional markers such as allozymes DNA-based markers, amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP), mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), microsatellites. We discuss advantages disadvantages each method, emphasizing their application structure analysis, gene flow assessment, reproductive strategy studies. Additionally, addresses use these marker-assisted selection enhance productive traits commercially important primary objective is highlight how concepts, flow, drift, natural selection, can be applied improve Furthermore, for health sustainability aquatic populations, captivity wild, underscored.

Abstract The African catfish ( Clarias gariepinus ) is a commercially important species, for both fisheries and aquaculture, now the most commonly farmed fish in sub-Saharan Africa. However, knowledge about genetic diversity population structure of wild populations, which crucial effective conservation sustainable aquaculture management, scarce. Using mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) cytochrome c oxidase 1 gene (COI) sequencing genomic analysis using triple restriction site-associated (3RAD), we investigated C. populations from Nigeria, including an albino form found wild. Eleven COI haplotypes were identified, seven unique to samples. Wild sampling sites had slightly broader range higher maximum values observed heterozygosity Ho = 0.109 – 0.165), expected He 0.111 0.216), nucleotide pi 0.125 0.225) compared 0.118 0.147, 0.112-0.144, 0.117 0.151). Conversely, differentiation Fst was among ones there high between 0.31 0.47). Despite evidence admixture fish, little two groups. Nevertheless, mtDNA 3RAD data strongly suggested that collected wild, fact farm escapees. overall genotypes suggesting integrity has been maintained, this escape provides warning potential risks increasing activities. Specifically, indicates need greater regulation farms monitor reduce risk escapes.
