Objectives of the Course
The aim of the course to determination of genetic variation in intra-species, intra-populations and inter- populations, natural stock structure analysis, aquaculture, taxonomy and systematic studies, genetic of extincting species, effect of fisheries and enviromental pollution on genetic differences, basic concepts and principles of genetic markers that used in studies about species of subsequently introduced to an enviroment.
