Dr.B.Deivasigamani, Associate Professor and UGC-Research Awardee, DST-SERB young Scientist working in Marine Biology Department and Faculty of Marine Sciences, Annamalai University, Parangipettai-608502. Fish Immunology and Biotechnology provides powerful tools for the sustainable development of aquaculture fisheries, as well as the food industry.

The conference provides an intellectual platform for the academia, teacher-educators and research scholars to present their work and exchange ideas and develop a current vision for the future of the society. It helps to answer many unanswered questions which are greatly concerned to the society as a whole. Biotechnological research and development are growing at a very fast rate. The biotechnology has assumed greatest importance in recent years in the development of fisheries, agriculture and human health. The science of biotechnology has endowed us with new tools and tremendous power to create novel genes and genotypes of plants, animals and fish. The application of biotechnology in the fisheries sector is a relatively recent practice. Neverthless,it is a promising area to enhance fish production. The increased application of biotechnological tools can certainly revolutionise our fish farming besides its role in biodiversity conservation. We believe this conference will be an event that promotes national and international academic exchanges and cooperation in the field of Aquaculture and Biotechnology.
