4.2.1.Molecular techniques

A wide range of techniques is now available for the study of molecular gene tics in fisheries. Molecular genetic approaches began to be used in fisheries in the 1950s. These initial studies were of blood group variants, primarily in tunas, salmonids and cod.

The techniques such as electrophoresis , DNA fingerprinting, Dot and slot blotting of DNA, Gene sequencing, DNA chip or DNA microarray, Nucleus transplantation and Cloning were described.
