7. Biodiversity and Management
7c. Species/genetic diversity and conservation for fisheries
To achieve sustainable fisheries in the world, it is essential to determine the genetic differences in aquatic organisms. In this sub-session, we deal with genetic concepts and discuss the roles of the phylogenetic and population genetic studies in production and conservation of fisheries. Actual states of the genetic studies on mollusca, crustacean, echinoderm and vertebrates will be discussed.
