A review is made of the genetic management of fisheries, examining characteristics of fish which make them unique from a genetic perspective and thus have resulted in the delayed application of basic genetic principles to fisheries management. Future directions for genetics in fisheries management are indicated, discussing the need for education, application of existing techniques and the development of new techniques.
