The "Marine Resources" appear with frequency in the profile of the Marine Sciences Degree. They are thus a fundamental object of academic study and of professional management. The central role of the marine biota has to be dealt from industrial, technological, physical-chemical, oceanographic and biological (Biochemical, Physiology, Genetics, Ecology, etc.) disciplines. The genetic "approach" is crucial in the management of the biological resources as much from the natural point of view (genetic conservation) as from the exploitation view from an intensive production (aquaculture). ¿Where is the point of elaborating a complex plan of exploitation on economic feasibility, technical and sociological viability if the resource lacks the sufficient genetic diversity to adapt to environmental challenge, to allow strategies of genetic selection or simply to keep it at its reproductive optimum?. Genetics plays as a central paper in the management of living resources, whose knowledge can not be obviated given the actual current easy going analyses of the genomes.
