trend and meeting national demand urgently requires maximal productivity
improvements through intensive high technology development, as well as an
increase in farming yields. Among the basic conditions for farming production,
production of seedlings (fry) is considered most important in terms of establishing the raw materials for production. Production of high-quality seedlings is
also viewed as a shortcut to maximizing farming productivity improvements.
Recently, efforts have been under way worldwide to produce superior, high
value-added varieties, using genetic engineering techniques to maximize the
productivity of unit efforts over a short time frame. Much research effort has
been focused on fish, which have the highest economic value among marine
products. Additionally, the introduction of foreign genes from various farmed
fish varieties has recently been observed in laboratories in various advanced
economies, with investigations under way on gene expression and transmission
to future generations.
This field is thus seen as having great potential for development as it enjoys
support from the rapidly advancing fields of molecular biology and genetic
engineering.
