Advancing the production efficiency and profitability of aquaculture is dependent upon the
ability to utilize a diverse array of genetic resources. The ultimate goals of aquaculture …

Although the molecular mechanisms underlying many developmental events are conserved
across vertebrate taxa, the lability at the top of the sex‐determining (SD) cascade has been …

At present, aquaculture is the fastest growing sector of animal food production and holds
great potential as a sustainable solution for world food security. The ability to control sex is …

The zebrafish (D anio rerio) is a freshwater teleost of the family C yprinidae that is
established as a model organism in many research fields. Here, we define the …

High-throughput sequencing technologies have been extensively applied to genetics and
breeding in the aquaculture industry. To date, many aquaculture animal genomes have …

Within vertebrates, major sex determining genes can differ among taxa and even within
species. In zebrafish (Danio rerio), neither heteromorphic sex chromosomes nor single sex …

Enhanced production of high quality and healthy fry is a key target for a successful and
competitive expansion of the aquaculture industry. Although large quantities of fish larvae …

Understanding sex determining (SD) mechanisms and related concepts in a wide range of
fish species is critical for sex control and large‐scale monosex production in aquaculture, in …

The embryonic gonad is the only organ that takes two mutually exclusive differentiating
pathways and hence gives rise to two different adult organs: testes or ovaries. The recent …

Abstract Background The mandarin fish (Siniperca chuatsi) is an important and widely
cultured fish in China. However, the lack of selective breeding of mandarin fish in previous …
