Abstract

Hydroponics has made a huge contribution to the global food chain supply, particularly in the manageable inventory of animal proteins. Genetic modifications are made by targeting traits such as disease resistance, growth rates, and nutritional profiles in various fish species, and they are also helpful for selective breeding techniques. Several fish species have notable sexual orientation variation, which is closely linked to other financial characteristics, such as body size and pace of growth, and is effectively improved by intercourse-related genetics. The commonly used methods in fish biotechnology are chromosome modification, hormonal treatment, etc. By using these techniques, we can control sexual maturation in particular species and produce the required characteristics. The technique of genetically breeding fish involves reshaping heritable features to produce new types and superior variations. These techniques help to advance the aquaculture industries and lower the cost, and increase the quality and quantity of yield. It is necessary to precisely specify breeding objectives before initiating selection programs. The majority of species have characteristics that are highly valuable economically, such as growth rate, food conversion efficiency, and disease resistance.
