Keywords:

  • transgenic/transgenic modified fish;
  • revolutionary technique, allowing a defined fragment of cloned DNA into germ lines of animals;
  • gene transfer manipulation;
  • microinjection of cloned DNA fragments - into pronuclei of fertilized mammalian eggs;
  • electroporation - instantaneous perturbation of cell membranes by sudden changes of electrical fields;
  • methodology of gene transfer for aquatic species - by recombinant retrovirus vector (one-time-only delivery system);
  • applications of gene transfer technique - in aquaculture;
  • food safety of transgenic fish;
  • transgenic food fish production, gene product - fish growth hormone, from same species or from another fish species;
  • potential economic benefits of transgenic technologies - in aquaculture, being obvious
