Aquaculture is one of the most efficient modes of animal protein production and plays an
important role in global food security. Aquaculture animals exhibit extraordinarily diverse …

Fish biology has been developed for more than 100 years, but some important
breakthroughs have been made in the last decade. Early studies commonly concentrated on …

Aquaculture has made an enormous contribution to the world food production, especially to
the sustainable supply of animal proteins. The utility of diverse reproduction strategies in …

A unisexual species is generally associated with polyploidy, and reproduced by a unisexual
reproduction mode, such as gynogenesis, hybridogenesis or parthenogenesis. Compared …

Genome polyploidy has been revealed to result in evolutionary advantages and novelties,
and therefore, polyploid aquatic animals may possess excellent traits of economic interest …

Unisexual animals are commonly found in some polyploid species complexes, and most of
these species have had a long evolutionary history. However, their method for avoiding …

Sexual vs. asexual reproduction—unisexual vs. bisexual populations—diploid vs. polyploid
biotypes—genetic vs. environmental sex determination: all these natural phenomena are …

Unisexual taxa are commonly considered short-lived as the absence of meiotic
recombination is supposed to accumulate deleterious mutations and hinder the creation of …

In so-called unisexual teleost fishes, a broad spectrum of evolutionary stages with varying
amounts of sexual elements has evolved. These range from pure sperm-dependent …

Abstract The Southern catfish (Silurus meridionalis), which exhibits a sexual dimorphism
with female growth faster than male, is an economically important fish in China. However …
