The book is a groundbreaking work that stands out in the market. It is comprehensive, spanning 42 chapters across three main sections - aqua-informatics, statistics, and economics - and covers advanced tools and techniques of bioinformatics and statistics for exploratory analysis of genomic and microarray data of fishes. The book's chapters on the latest developments in biotechnological approaches for fish disease diagnosis, infection and immunity of brood carps, cryoconservation of fishes, probiotics and nanotechnology in aquaculture, as well as information on prawn aquaculture, ornamental fish farming and trade, are of great interest. Additionally, the book provides valuable information on various software and their application for exploratory data analysis and data mining, leading to knowledge discovery and visualization.

One of the book's key features is that it includes appropriate and illustrated examples exclusively with fisheries data. The statistics section covers biometrical and qualitative techniques in genetics and selective breeding of fish, as well as fundamental statistical tests, design of experiments, and sampling methods for planning experiments and surveys in fisheries and aquaculture research. The book also includes an econometric approach for technical efficiency estimation and input-output analysis, project evaluation, and impact assessment, linear programming, market intelligence, fisheries legislation, policy, and IPR issues, all of which are new in the field of fisheries and aquaculture.

This book will not only benefit students but will also serve as a valuable guide for researchers and planners making policy decisions. It covers a wide range of subjects that are effectively applied to fisheries and aquaculture research, making it a useful resource for those in this field.
