Abstract

A range of transgenic animal species have been generated using DNA microinjection, and application of this technique to fish is now showing some degree of success. Studies to optimize microinjection techniques specifically for use with fish, and to investigate possible alternative methods for mass culture, should lead to the commercial production of transgenic fish able to transmit desirable characteristics, such as enhanced growth or disease resistance, to their progeny.
