Science and advanced technology together with conscious application can bring magnificent revolution in any sector, including sunrise aquaculture sector as well. Keeping this in mind, the current book focuses on the recent technical revolution in several sub-sectors of aquaculture. This book mainly emphasizes the potential of modern biotechnological tools for analyzing the impact of various molecular biology approaches in fisheries and aquaculture. Apart from molecular biology and bioinformatics, aptful logical sections on the state of art popular fish farming techniques including Biofloc Technology (BFT) and Re-circulatory Aquaculture System (RAS) have been discussed in detail. A few chapters will provide thorough insights on various fish disease diagnosis techniques and therapeutic measures. Chapters dealing with environmentally friendly alternative drugs, and herbal medicines have also been incorporated. Pollution control and environmental protection are increasingly top priorities in addition to technological advancement. In this direction a single chapter will provide insight into the role of aquatic algae in controlling pesticide pollution.

In the space of around 350 pages, encompassing 16 chapters have been accommodated: Recent advancement of biotechnology and molecular biology tools in fisheries and aquaculture; Modern Biotechnological Approaches of Fish Based Biomaterials; Blue Biotech Revolution: Next-Gene Sequencing in Fisheries and Aquaculture; Future Prospective of eDNA in Aquaculture and Method, its Challenge to Small Farmers; Insights into the Biofloc Fish Farming Status of India; Application of Medicinal Plant in Fish Feed and its Challenges; Application of Recent and Trend Tools in Fish Disease Diagnosis; Fish Therapeutics and Its Limitations; Application of Herbs in Fish Feed and its Importance and Challenges; Application of Aquatic Algae for Indication and Controlling of Pesticide Pollution; Recent Trend in Fish Farming: An Overview; Zero Tillage Fish Farming and its Importance; Analysing the Therapeutic Impact of Marine Organisms – Derived from Osteoporosis Using Machine Learning; Carbon and Nitrogen Ratio in Shrimp Aquaculture Systems; Re-circulatory Aquaculture System (RAS) and its Challenges to Fish Farmers; Histological Alterations in Gill, Kidney and Liver of Fish as a Diagnostic Tool for Ecotoxicological Research.
