Klappentext Presents the latest in the new and rapidly expanding area of gene expression in aquatic animals. Zusammenfassung Application of the techniques of molecular biology to aquatic organisms has now advanced to the stage where important questions about growth! development and adaptation can be addressed at the level of gene expression. This volume presents some of the most exciting advances in this rapidly expanding area. Inhaltsverzeichnis Preface; 1.
