In the vast expanse of our planet's oceans, rivers, and lakes,
fish play a crucial role in supporting ecosystems and
sustaining human livelihoods. From the mighty salmon of
the Pacific Northwest to the colorful coral reef inhabitants
of the tropics, fish exhibit a staggering diversity of shapes,
sizes, and behaviors. Behind this diversity lies the intricate
genetic code that governs the traits and adaptations of each
species. In this comprehensive article, we delve into the
fascinating field of fishery genetics, exploring how genetic
research is shaping our understanding of aquatic life and
informing sustainable fisheries management practices.
