The vitellogenin receptor (VgR) functions as an essential component in uptaking and
transporting vitellogenin (Vg) in female adults, which is involved in ovary development and …

As a nonpolar molecular carrier and a storage protein, vitellogenin (Vg) cannot only
combine and transfer lipids, proteins, vitamin and carotenoids to oocytes during the …

Vitellogenin (Vg) is the precursor of vitellin, which is an important female-specific protein
stored in oocytes as the major nutrient and energy sources for embryogenesis in oviparous …

The greater amberjack Seriola dumerili is an excellent candidate for the Mediterranean
aquaculture, due to its large body size and high growth rate, as well as its high flesh quality …

Three complete vitellogenin (Vtg) polypeptides of European sea bass (Dicentrarchus
labrax), an acanthomorph teleost spawning pelagic eggs in seawater, were deduced from …

Egg yolk generation is a common physiological process in oviparous animals. To
understand oogenesis and reproductive capacity, it is necessary to characterize …

A male-specific marker of a DNA sequence for the Pacific bluefin tuna Thunnus orientalis,
Male delta 6 (Md6), was identified by comparative study of the sequences obtained by F3 …

The effects of different stressors on the atretic degeneration of ovarian vitellogenic follicles,
as well as on the ovarian mass, were examined in female Atlantic bluefin tuna, Thunnus …

Rationale The bias associated with lipid contents in fish tissues is a recalcitrant topic for
trophic studies using stable isotopes. Lipids are depleted in the heavy carbon isotope (13C) …

Abstract The Atlantic Bluefin Tuna (ABFT, Thunnus thynnus) is one of the most intensely
exploited fisheries resources in the world. In spite of the years of studies on ABFT, basic …
