APPLYING OF DNA- MICROARRAYS IN A MODERN FISH-FARMING

Abstract

The paper is a review of the literature concerning the most advanced areas of applying the DNA microarrays method in modern fish farming. Particular attention is given to the efficiency of this approach in diagnostics of various stages of viral and bacterial fish diseases. DNA microarrays using is shown to deadly effect for studying of genetic changes in fish under the influence of temperature factors and aquatic pollutants (including feed excess). Various possibilities of DNA microarrays application of DNA microarrays for interspecies and intraspecies identification of individuals in the wild conditions and fish industry are discribed.
