Technical Abstract: An overview is given of concepts and procedures relevant to fish hatcheries for managing the genetic composition, sex ratio, and sterility of fish. The areas discussed are genetic domestication, selection, crossbreeding, inbreeding, production of monosex populations, production of sterile fish, and genetically tagging hatchery-produced fish. The chapter is written for practitioners with minimal formal background in genetics and focuses on applications relevant to finfish hatcheries.
