Aloha e Kevin,
Gidi is right, I got one copy from the publisher as a co-author and will be glad to let you borrow it. Let's talk on the phone about the arrangement.

Dear Kevin,
Thank you for your comment. I regret that the book is so expensive, but this is beyond my control. Benny has a copy; may be you can borrow it from him. I hope he does not mind me suggesting this.
Best wishes,
Gidi

Dear Gideon,
The book by Burnell and Allan (eds) looks very promising but it is, unfortunately, out of the price range of many of us. I am going to ask my library to get it but, given budget cuts, I am not optimistic.

Hello, Please can anyone recommend me a good book on genetics.

Genetics is a great aquaculture tool that can be used to produce breeds that are hardy, disease resitant and suitable for culture in confinement.
