Hydrobiologia Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Recent advantages in transgenic fish research are reviewed, with special reference to the methods for gene transfer. These include microinjection, electroporation, particle bombardment, and lipofection. The success and problems associated with each of these methods, and the possible applications of transgenic fish research to aquaculture are discussed.
