Gonadal steroidogenesis is pivotal to synchronize various reproductive stages including
sexual development, growth and maturation. In all vertebrates including teleost …

Occurrence of neurotoxic chemicals in the aquatic environment is on the rise posing a
potential threat to aquatic biota including fish. In teleosts, zebrafish has become a popular …

This review highlights the recent developments regarding neuroendocrine mechanisms
controlling teleost reproduction. In teleosts, the pituitary gland receives major neuronal …

Catfishes, belonging to the order siluriformes, represent one of the largest groups of
freshwater fishes with more than 4000 species and almost 12% of teleostean population …

Studying environmental sex determination (ESD) in cichlids provides a phylogenetic and
comparative approach to understand the evolution of the underlying mechanisms, their …

Abstract In European sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax), as in many other fish species,
temperature is known to influence the sex of individuals, with more males produced at …

Sex reversal is one of the characteristic properties of sexual plasticity in bony fishes wherein
both natural and induced sex change happens at various stages of life cycle in different …

Expression of transcription factors is crucial for the regulation of steroidogenesis and
gonadal development in fish. SRY-related box (SOX) proteins regulate gene expression of …

Fish sex-determining mechanisms can be classified as genotypic (GSD), temperature (TSD),
or genotypic plus temperature effects (GSD+ TE). Previous studies have shown that culturing …

Background As the critical tissue of the central nervous system, the brain has been found to
be involved in gonad development. Previous studies have suggested that gonadal fate may …
