Abstract
The objective of this chapter is to give an overview and analysis of the current trends and
developments in biotechnology in aquaculture research and management. The technological
developments along with structural changes in the aquaculture sector may affect access and
intellectual property rights (IPR) regimes. These issues will be discussed in a wide perspective involving both short and long-term biological effects, ethical and other social aspects (economic, legal and political issues), including their partly inherent contradictions needing compromising for sustainable development. The chapter will focus on current biological challenges within aquaculture as a growing food production sector, with less emphasis on external effects such as environmental effects. Cases from farmed salmon and cod in Norway in addition to shrimp and tilapia in Asia will be highlighted.
