This book explores fish genetic resources while emphasizing the importance of genetic diversity for the sustainability of global fish populations. Amidst challenges like overfishing and climate change, preserving fish genetic resources is vital. This book acts as a resource guide and provides an overview of fish genetics, conservation challenges, and sustainable strategies. This work is a call to action, aiming to bridge scientific research with practical application, guiding readers towards sustainable management of fish genetic wealth. It also contains several case studies that highlight the successes and lessons from past conservation efforts. The promotion of sustainable practices also advocates for holistic strategies benefiting the environment and human communities. The technological insights covered in the book, introduce the latest fish genetics research and its conservation applications. It also addresses the national and international frameworks for fish genetic resource conservation.

This book covers educational tools designed for students, researchers, professionals and policy makers in advanced aquatic biology and fisheries management.

About the Author

Dr. Uttam Kumar Sarkar has made significant contributions to exploring, evaluating, and characterizing the spatiotemporal pattern of fish biodiversity, biological traits, and population parameters of diversified fishes of the inland open waters. He has been involved in conceptualizing and adoption of the innovative approach of state fish for the first time in India for the conservation of fish genetic resources of the country. These innovations were made to assess and understand fish assemblages, spatial diversity patterns and habitat complexity of more than 30 Indian reservoirs and 50 wetlands, covering different climatic zones, for developing region-specific management practices. Dr. Sarkar has published 6 books, 3 policy documents, 3 fish diversity atlas, 10 new species and records, 5 databases and DNA barcoding of 72 freshwater fishes. He has also published over 260 research papers, with above 5000 citations and supervised or co-supervised 13 PhDs.

Dr. T. T. Ajith Kumar obtained his Masters degree and PhD in marine biology from Annamalai University and thereafter served 27 years in teaching, research, and extension at Annamalai University and ICAR. He previously served as an assistant professor and, presently, is a Principal Scientist and Head of the Centre of the ICAR-National Bureau of Fish Genetic Resources, Regional Centre at Kochi, India. He has scientific interests in breeding and rearing marine ornamental organisms, contributing significantly towards integrating marine ornamentals conservation and sustainable development. He has worked for the development of the community aquaculture units, marine ornamental village and nano aquaria towards the conservation of biodiversity and livelihood upliftment. He has published more than 200 articles (citation 3,500) besides, 23 books (including booklets and manuals) and 43 book chapters. Further, a team led by him discovered 17 new species of fish and shrimps and several new records to Indian waters.

He completed his postgraduation from CCS Haryana Agricultural University, India and doctorate from Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, India, in Veterinary Pathology. He has over 26 years of experience working in the area of aquatic animal health and has published over 100 research papers. He has been involved in preparing the national documents on exotic aquatic species and quarantine. His areas of interest include disease diagnosis, development of fish cell lines and monoclonal antibodies, and understanding host-pathogen interaction. He is the Consortium Principal Investigator of the National Surveillance Programme for Aquatic Animal Diseases. He has also reported five new fish diseases.

Dr. Rajeev K. Singh is working as Principal Scientist and Head, Germplasm Exploration, Evaluation and Conservation Division of ICAR-National Bureau of Fish Genetic Resources, Lucknow.
