Fisheries Science & Marine Biology
As a rapidly expanding industry, aquaculture is becoming increasingly important in addressing global challenges that include nutrition, reducing poverty, and promoting sustainable development. The new book, Advances in Fish Genetics and Pathology, provides a comprehensive collection of research and insights into recent advances in fish genetics and pathology, focusing on the development of better strains of cultivable fish and on the challenges to preserve and manage native genetic resources. The volume explores recent advances in fish genetics and biotechnology that offer great potential for their application in aquaculture to address the aforementioned challenges.

AAP support has been truly important throughout the initial and final stages of the book. While the majority of the publishing work is done at the early stages, the final touches that include the last-minute corrections of the authors are extremely crucial to the quality the book tries to convey. The assistance of AAP during the last stages of corrections and communication with the authors was a very positive contributor to my state of mind during those stressful moments. I recommend the publishing experience with AAP to other editors of scientific material.” —Stavros Hatzopoulos, PhD, Hearing Science Laboratory, University Hospital of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy AAP book title: Nanotechnologies: The Physics of Nanomaterials (2-volume set) “I was very pleased with the interaction and support of the team at Apple Academic Press.
