| Abstract | ||
| Regarding increasing the world population, the marine aquaculture will play a key role in supplying the protein requirement of the human. Therefore, the need for achieving to more production in this industry is necessary and unavoidable. Larvae and fry production also depend on broodstocks, while one of the major bottlenecks in marine fish breeding is to prepare gene pool of breeders having special genetically characteristics. These brood stocks may carry specific genes such as higher growth rate ability or resistance to disease. Since the conventional breeding is a long time and expensive protocol, applying the modern biotechnologies such as transgene would lead to achieving selective broodstocks. In this paper, it tries to introduce successful examples of transgenic marine fish produced worldwide. Moreover, it involves discussion about the important genes transferred to fish leading to raised production, reduced costs, and consequently more profitable investment. | ||
