4. Breeding and Embryo Manipulation Code: BUBL6104 Credit: 3

This course will review about natural and artificial selection, artificial sexual hybridization,
nuclear transplantation and gene transfer. Among them, natural and artificial selections and sexual
hybridization are traditional, sexual and non-biotechnical methods. They are popularly and
success-fully used in fish farming practice in the history. But their further application is limited
because of the difficulties of composition of sexual combinations between distantly related species.
Furthermore identification and composition of the characteristics which are to appear in the
hybrid fish presents many problems. Nuclear transplantation and gene transfer are two newly
developed methods for attempting to cultivate new breeds of fish.
