Abstract
Aquaculture's increasing role in global food security, particularly in addressing the increasing demand for seafood, depends on a deep comprehension of the intricate mechanisms governing gene expression and control. The conversion of genetic code into functional proteins, known as gene expression, is crucial in determining the traits of an organism. Gene regulation, on the other hand, controls the timing and amount of gene expression. In the realm of aquaculture, grasping these genetic mechanisms is essential for identifying physiological traits relevant to production, choosing suitable breeding stocks, and adapting fish populations. Advanced techniques such as gene mapping, microarrays, and real-time PCR have been pivotal in researching genes linked to growth, maturity, and other life- history traits. These molecular techniques play a significant role in aquaculture research, particularly in studying toxicity, early development stages, and the overall health of fish.
