Anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have generated rapid
variations in atmospheric composition which drives major climate changes. Climate change …

The present review focuses on the roles of estrogens and aromatase (Cyp19a1a), the
enzyme needed for their synthesis, in fish gonadal sex differentiation. Based on the recent …

Reproductive Biology of Teleost Fishes is the first integrated review of the reproductive
biology of the bony fishes, which are the most species-rich and diversified group of …

Sexual or gonadal differentiation is a complex event and its mechanism remains elusive in
teleosts. Despite its complexity and plasticity, the process of ovarian differentiation is …

Controlling the sex ratio is essential in finfish farming. A balanced sex ratio is usually good
for broodstock management, since it enables to develop appropriate breeding schemes …

Among vertebrates, fishes show an exceptional range of reproductive strategies regarding
the expression of their sexuality. Fish sexualities were categorized into gonochorism …

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 …

In this review, we provide a detailed overview of studies on the elusive sex determination
(SD) and gonad differentiation mechanisms of zebrafish (Danio rerio). We show that the data …

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 …
