Vitellogenesis in crustaceans is an energy-consuming process. Though the underlying
mechanisms of ovarian maturation in decapod Crustacea are still unclear, evidence …

In decapods neurotransmitters govern a variety of physiological events including growth,
moulting, reproduction, locomotor activity, behavior and sexual differentiation. The most …

The effects of serotonin injection (1, 5 and 10 µg/g body weight) on spermatozoal
production, vas deferens index (VDI), hepatosomatic index (HSI), testicular index (TI) …

Ribosomal protein L10a (RpL10a) is encoded by an essential gene related to the early
stages of ovarian development. A recombinant RpL10a protein was produced and …

Shrimp ovarian development is a pivotal step for aquaculture in order to maintain
broodstocks. The molecular processes in the ovaries of Fenneropenaeus merguiensis De …

We examined the feasibility of inducing synchronous ovarian maturation in the crayfish,
Procambarus clarkii, via eyestalk interventional injection (EI) using a Bletilla striata …

The aims of the study were to evaluate the reproductive performance of pond reared
broodstock of Fenneropenaeus indicus without prior ablation for shrimp maturity. These …

This study was conducted in order to investigate the potential of using serotonin, 5-
hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) hormone to induce ovarian maturation on F. merguiensis. Control …

Knowledge on molecular mechanisms of steroid hormones and neurotransmitters on
expression of reproduction-related genes may lead to the possible ways to effectively induce …
