The loach (Misgurnus anguillicaudatus) is an excellent animal model to elucidate biological
origin and evolutionary significance of genome duplication and unisexual reproduction …

Monosex populations are in demand in many fish species with sexual dimorphism, eg, better
growth performance, higher gonad value, superior ornamental value. From the point of view …

Mullets are gonochoristic or bisexual fish: this implies that individuals are either males or
females. Normally, adult females are bigger than males, but there is no sexual dimorphism …

In most fish species, morphologically distinct sex chromosomes are absent, and neither sex
determination genes nor sex‐related markers have yet been identified. Thus, induced …

determination. A socially dominant initial-phase (IP) female is able to transform into a new …

Fish species have a variety of sex determination systems. Tunas (genus Thunnus) have an
